What type of writing I typically do?
Since 2013 I have written various papers at the business school. For example, as a journal, I picked up some workplace problems and how to improve reflecting what I have learned. As the other type of writing, based on case studies, I gathered data, graphed, analyzed and summarized the considerations. Finally, I wrote the business plan proposal with my co-founders. These were hard works and took a lot of time, however this experience was awoken my desire to learning academic writing return to the foundation. I strongly feel the necessity to cultivate my own writing skills so that I can send out an attractive and creative journal in addition to logical and easy-to-understand sentences.
What I think about writing? Enjoy? Dread?
I love to write and the dream from elementary school was to be a journalist. In fact, I am working at a broadcasting company in Japan. Because my department is an engineering bureau, I am not mainly writing articles or writing manuscripts for broadcasting. However, there are many opportunities to explain what kind of updating or new broadcasting facilities are necessary in the future.
Writing is one of the means of communication. I feel very rewarding when I can convey to people properly and share information through my writing. It is laborious to write when I define the appropriate theme, target and the genre of writing style but I enjoy it.
What area of writing I need to improve most
First of all English is my second language, so I must make sure to use variety of vocabularies and not to mistake words or grammar.
Secondly, in order to communicate clearly to people, it is necessary to keep in mind the logical writing. Specifically, it is to describe consistent story and structures.
Thirdly, this is what I need to improve most, but to draw attractive and creative journals and articles. I believe that technology and journalism are inseparable even in recent years, such as data journalism. Now I am learning the method of data analysis additionally I try to improve my writing skill so that I would like to write useful blogs that people in the world can access. In future I want to create a new journalism platform using data visualization and write the article what I want to appeal clearly.
