Organization

Organization as discussed in the chapter is key to being able to write at your best. I for one am very disorganized. Fortunately on the computer I can save things to folders to keep all of my files together when I write. When talking about tools for writing as tools in a toolbox it kind of made me think about how I use physical tools. I am not a handyman by any standards to beyond basic hammer and nail type projects I am out of my league. I can make some educated guesses and maybe use a few more advanced tools correctly but the end result would still be sloppy. Just as a to become effecient with physical tools you need to observe their use and follow directions. Similarly with writing I can write in my own voice fairly well but when doing scientific or research based writing I struggle. So I need to take advantage of reading other people's work and help build my skills using different writing tools.

  1. I am quite the opposite. I am always pretty organized, it actually bothers me when things are disorganized. I am also not good with physical tools, not even a hammer and nails, so you have that one up on me. But, I like to think that I am pretty good with how I voice my writings. So, good luck with your organizational skills.
