Ticket to Reflection

For my class, I will have to reflect on my writing from time-to-time. My teacher has requested the class to analyze our strongest and weakest posts and I want to look at Gamer Girls in a Gamer World and 5 Games That Everyone Should Play.

Gamer Girls felt like my strongest and weakest post simultaneously. This post was the one I dedicated most of my time and effort to. I put considerable research into this post and I hope it showed. On the other hand, this was also the most difficult one for me to write. My final result turned into a jumbled mess I am a little ashamed of.

5 Games is also another post I feel has strong and weak qualities. I felt that the post was a prime example of understanding one's audience. Considering that a majority of my readers are high school students who barely play video games, I want to ensure that my readers are actually interested in what they are reading on Ticket to Game.

Trying to better tend to my audience is something I hope shows in my posts. But while that may work, I clearly have trouble making my opinions and ideas clear and concise which can be fairly evident in Gamer Girls. Over the course of six weeks, I hope to be a far more clearer writer. I need to be able to bring in depth into my posts and as of right now, I don't see any of that.

While I have outlined all of my previous posts, I think I need to spend a lot more time preparing my words. Paying more attention from the get-go will hopefully make me more conscious of how I am writing. Considering as games journalism is a vocation I wish to enter, I certainly have a lot of work ahead of me.
