Dairy Self-Assessment

In this project, it is the longest articles I have ever written. Writing dairies is a project that I never did before, and I had many problem at the beginning. After I finished the project and print it out, I felt very proud of myself to made this project successfully.

In this project, I created a new character for main character. She is almost the copy of myself, so I can write the dairies easier. I wrote about some things that truly happened at me in her dairies, and I tried to write the things that I want to do in her dairy too. For example, I do not good at painting at the real life, but I want to have the ability to draw some beautiful pictures. So I make my character a painter.

Beside this, I become more sensitive about details. When I tried to write something like "Sookan was beautiful in her dress", I do not just write the sentence. I wrote "The Korean girl who wore a pale blue silk dress looked like a princess" for instant. Also, I did this in expressing my feelings. I try to avoid using too much simple sentence to express character's feeling in this project, and I write about details like their actions to show the feeling. I feel very confident about these two parts.

About clarity in my project. Even though I have checked dairies, I still think there are many mistakes in the project. Sometime when I am writing, I thinks in Chinese then translate to English. This made many of my dairies have very small mistakes. For example, I forgets add "s" or "ed" after verbs a lot. I really need more time to check my dairies carefully to find these mistakes. On the other hand. I am very careful about comma splice, run-on sentence in this project. I think I did a good job at this part in my project. I can make the quality much better if there is more time for me to check the grammer in my dairies.

I feel very confident for my length because it is definitely the longest writing I have done. I always think that 50 words are not enough for me to write a complete entry, and I always write around 100 words for an entry.

In conclusion, this project extends my knowledge about writing. I feel more confident to write a long article. I know about how to write things in detail, and how to write a good description. This project helps me learn a lot.
