To many people their work seems unique and it sure is. Every writer has their own way of writing that has been developing since they first learned how to write. There are many different styles and tones people use when they write, but the way I write and my word choice sets my writing style apart from others. Up to this point in my life, I have always wrote my essays a certain way. I like to speak out loud while I write, I believe it helps me to get on a roll without stopping. My essays usually consist of my personal feelings and thoughts, unless I’m asked to do otherwise. The words I choose to write with, are words I use on a regular day basis. I have this little process I follow, it helps to get my audience to relate with my work and to have a clear understanding of my message.
At first I sit there and stare into space thinking about the subject I’m going to write on. Then I jot down some random words that might help me write if I get stuck. After I’m done thinking, I get a little conversation going on in my head, or out loud if I’m alone, to get my paper to come out as if I was just speaking and everything I said was getting wrote down. I feel like this gives it my personal touch, specially when I get lost in my words. The words I choose are words I use every day. I might use new words I recently have learned, but I will not go out of my way to use a word I am not comfortable using. My paper are 100 percent me, no if or buts. If I’m going to get credit for something it will most definitely be for my work and my words.
I write how I speak. Sometimes to make my essays sound more formal, I have to go back and edit. At times, when I read my papers it sounds like I’m having a conversation with someone and I just wont stop talking, but this is the way I feel like I get a connection with my audience. This is great way to make my audience feel like they are in my paper because it’s talking to them. I can tell my papers and similar papers apart from others. When I read a paper, and I feel like I’m stuck in a conversation, I know that the author and I have similar writing styles. I feel like I can just put my opinion it somewhere, and it will still be talking back to me without any problem. It’s truly amazing to have a connection with some random persons writing. These authors word choice, like mine, help to get a better understanding of the message in an essay. The easy-going and flowing word choices help to visualize and influence the reader while keeping them interested on your paper. Books with my writing style, get me hooked!
I like how you incorporate your thoughts and feelings into your writing. It shows that is what makes your paper unique. Not everybodys paper is going to be the same but they all have a different approach towards the same topic. You don't overdue your paper by using words that you normally don't use which can tend to confuse readers sometimes. I admire that you won't change who you really are in your paper just so you can be a certain way. You are who you are with or without it.
ReplyDeleteYour way of figuring out what to write is very organized. You found a system that works for you. By writing down key words and or ideas it helps you better understand what your trying to write without losing your thought. What I think is important to a writer is being able to bring the reader in. It's a great thing to have the reader feel what you feel and see what you see. It's not only a way for you to connect to the audience but also the audience to connect with you.
Great way of expressing your thoughts!
