Blog Post #3 Writing Style

What is my writing style? This is a very good question. It took a little while for me to figure this out. I never have put much thought into individual ‘writing style’. When I really started to pay attention to it, I realized that everyone is very unique in the way that they write. We are all individuals with opinions and specific writing techniques. The great part about style is that it is our own. Throughout my years of English classes I have always tried to write exactly how the teacher wanted me to. I hope to become a better writer by learning how to add just enough style while still staying within the guidelines of my assignments. In my writing I notice that I like to use lots of supporting evidence. I like to help the reader relate to my writing. I’ll be honest I am not the biggest fan of reading, so it really helps when the writer keeps it interesting. I try to avoid sounding like a ‘textbook’, if you know what I mean. The straight up facts can be extra boring. If I ever have the option to choose my topic I like to pick things that I feel strongly about; that way I can make a stronger emotional connection with the reader. I try to help them feel and understand what I am feeling about a certain topic. There are many different things that go into making our writing uniquely ours. I feel the best way to get other people to enjoy your writing is to be yourself and make sure that you love it also!
