I Can Go The Distance

Let's be honest. I titled this "I Can Go The Distance" because I am now listening to that song from Hercules. I needed inspiration to write this post.

I have kind of been pondering the question, "What is my writing style" all day, and I've actually been a little bit afraid to find the answer. But I did it. What I really came up with, what it really came down to, is one word: personal. My writing is very personal. I've found it difficult to put myself in my writing in this last assignment because I didn't do a great job of picking a topic that I am all that passionate about. And I regret that, but everything else I have written that I look back on was done directly from me. I hope it doesn't sound cheesy when I say this, but I honestly love to write with all of my heart.

I think it is because I have found that it is easiest for me to communicate my thoughts and emotions through my writing. I can describe everything that my eyes see, my ears hear, my nose smells, my lips taste, and my hands touch. Experiences I have had can be shared with readers and they can understand exactly what it was like to be in my shoes. And through telling my perspective, I always hope to gain even just a little of theirs.

I can share who I am. That is something powerful. To give yourself to your reader. To be personal, to be vulnerable, and to connect through something beyond the spoken word, but instead, the written one.
