I am not familiar with most of the writing skills and I would like to improve on all of them, but there a few important skills that I currently want to learn and improve on. The first skill is know what to do when you get stuck while writing. I want to improve on this skill because it happens to me a lot when I'm writing an essay or a paper. I want to learn how to get out of that moment and how to think of more things to write and ideas. Second thing I want to improve is how to write longer papers. I want to improve my skill on how to write a longer paper because I write my ideas in short words or sentences. I want to extend the length of the sentences and use larger words.

 Ive been having a lot of problems with understanding plagiarism, I don't know what is acceptable and what isn't when writing a paper. such as when writing something from a book or an website is it ok to just add it on the text or it needs parentheses to protect it from falling in the plagiarism category. A lot of times its very helpful to copy a phrase or sentences to explain or to proof something about what ever your writing about. When it comes to understand someone’s writing very well the writing must be written in different voice, tone etc. of each situation (Be able to determine which voice, tone, and level of formality is appropriate for each situation), because when the reader reads your writing he/she can understand your point of view of the situation your explaining.

I have great thoughts and ideas but I find it hard to organize my thoughts so it fits in the paper 

correctly (Outline and logically organized thoughts). I would like to improve this skill because, when 

I write a paper or even an essay sometimes I unorganized the thoughts and outline and when someone 

reads it it doesn't make a lot of since. Last but not least the most important skill that I want to 

improve and master is (Control features such as sentence structure, grammar, punctuation, spelling, 

and appropriate documentation (MLA)). Im not very good at this skill because I think I need to learn 

more sentences structure, punctuation and appropriate documentation so I can create a more 

professional paper in writing or publishing in the future.
