What I have learned about myself as a writer

When I first started ninth grade, I was nervous about the things I would have to write in my classes. I have always thought of myself as a good writer, but I was worried that writing would get harder in high school, and I was right. Through this year, I have experienced writing assignments that were relatively easy, and some that were difficult. Through these assignments, I have learned many things about myself as a writer.

I have learned that I can write easier when I get to write about a topic of my choice. Whenever I am given a writing prompt, I find it difficult deciding what to write so that my writing fully answers the prompt. I have also learned that I write more efficiently when I do not have much time to write. Due dates encourage me to write quickly and efficiently and writing quickly encourages me to check my grammar. Lastly, I learned that using Grammarly is useful to double-check my grammar because sometimes I miss mistakes that I had made.
