My Style is Rapidly Changing...

I have never thought about what my writing style is before, so this blog post made me deeply contemplate my writing, my style, and the techniques I often use when I write.  I am not one who enjoys writing, unless my topic is something that I am deeply passionate about.  I have noticed that as I have written papers over the years, the papers I have been most absorbed in writing pertain to the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I have noticed that I have a love and passion for discussing things that relate to the Gospel and how it has the power to change people’s lives.  Because I often write about religion, my papers tend to be more formal.  Almost all of the papers that I have written have been informative papers that have needed to sound official, demonstrating that I knew and understood my topic and what I was writing about.  I have recently noticed that I have struggled with my clarity in my writing.  I have multiple ideas swimming around in my head, but I have a difficult time writing them down in a way that makes sense to my reader.  I sometimes struggle with finding transitions that show my audience exactly what I am trying to explain in a way that they can understand.  I am grateful for peer reviews because it has helped see my peer’s writing styles.  This has helped me be able to see things that my peers do in their writing that I could work on to better my own personal writing style.  I would say that my personal writing style is still in development, it has come a long way, but it is still rapidly changing as I am improving and learning new ways to write.
