Strengths and Weaknesses

Rhetoric is something that I think I'm pretty strong in. I usually have a good idea of the situation I am writing for and can write for a genre. My weakness is usually when it comes to writing for my audience and having the correct tone. I think it will help if I really place myself wholly in the writing situation and learn about my audience before I begin writing.

My strengths in critical thinking lie in my ability to overthink things. This comes in handy when I have to look at situations from multiple perspectives. However I have trouble understanding language, knowledge, and power. It makes sense when presented in a n example, but I don't totally understand it on my own.

My writing process is probably not the best strategy for writing. I would be open to learning new ways to improve my writing process because I don't feel like I am strong in any particular aspect of it. I usually draft on paper so I can freewrite and then write a first draft, but I don't think I have enough outside perspective to revise it over and over again.

If I understand knowledge of conventions correctly as the "table manners of writing", I would say that this is something I am strong in overall. Whenever I am writing emails or papers to people outside of my family and friends, I always err on the side of caution and try to be as professional as possible.

Honestly, If you had to ask me, I would say I'm a weak writer overall. But I tend to doubt my abilities in writing and usually end up doing okay in the long run.
