How have you developed as a writer

As a writer I think I have progressed well from when I started. This is my first semester back after about a year and a half away and I know that my writing is way better than it was. I’ve have learned when to use certain punctuations, how to properly plan an essay, and how to better explain my points. The only thing that I never been able to master and still have trouble getting is page minimums. I struggle a lot with writing papers that are over 5 pages. I always end up running of of things to say and I just ramble on about random things. With the the help of this class and all the exercises that we do have helped a bit. I’ve learned to further elaborate and explain my ideas so that way I don’t easily just say everything I have to say in one little part. I learned to branch out my ideas and talk about them individually and it usually opens up another gate.besides that I feel like my writing is heading in the direction I want it just not at the pace I want.
