Academic Writing

How can you apply the concepts of academic writing to your own writing?

            I can apply the concepts of academic writing to my own writing in several ways. A reoccurring concept was to plan before writing, I think this skill can be very beneficial for my writing. I usually don't plan out the concepts I would like to write about, causing me to become flustered when I write. Planning before writing can help my work to become more organized.
            I can also apply the concept of letting other check my work to my writing. I think getting opinions from other can help me to positively edit my work. Finally, I believe establishing a 'voice' in my writing. Having a 'voice' in your writing makes it unique and it can help differentiate my work from the work of others.
