My writing "fingerprint"

Everyone has their own unique writing style, it’s like a fingerprint. My “fingerprint” is a combination of formal writing skills that I have learned from years of honors/AP classes and I like to throw in a little bit spice here a there to keep it fun. I don’t have a very humorous writing style, but I think its fun to say things that will shock people. Not in a controversial, appalling way, but in a way that makes people think or focus back in on what I’m writing. Maybe I do this because I know that I have hard time paying attention when I’m reading boring informational papers, and maybe I’m not even that good at it, but I feel like if someone is going to read something I wrote I want them to at least enjoy it a little bit. I’ll be honest, writing is not my favorite thing in the world, but sometimes when I feel like my ideas are just flowin and coming together really well it makes me like super excited about writing. In those cases, it’s easier for me to add my style into the writing because I feel confident about what I’m saying. My writing style could benefit from a greater variety of vocabulary. Instead of just using regular, everyday words, I could probably add some flavor with a few more fun vocab words, as long as it’s not too much. It’s important for people to stay true to who they are in writing and find their own "fingerprint".

  1. First of all I love that you called it a fingerprint. That is so great! Also, I am so glad that you are honest. You don't really like writing, but you can enjoy it when you want to, nothing wrong with that.
