As for my writing, the most important rule that applies to me is rule #3: "Finish what you’re writing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it." Sometimes, I am too general when I write and am not specific enough. I transition too quickly to my next idea, sometimes without regarding pace. Now, unfortunately, this often happens to me when I write essays, which I think are too standardized and limited. For example, on the AP essays, it is recommended, almost required, that we write an introduction, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion. Yes, we are organizing our ideas, but why can't we add more detail? That way, I feel as though the essays would be more interesting if we were given more time to write them. However, this pressure can motivate people who are planning to be journalists to become better. All-in-all, a faster pace in required for myself, while still adding as much detail as possible with the time given.
