Just Kidding about the title. :):).
Writing to me is a passion of mine. So, there are so many
experiences of my writing that I've been proud of.
I love all different types of writing. Such as formal, like
a school paper, or non-formal, like sketch writing.
I took a speech class last year and it really helped me
be more comfortable talking in front of others and
more comfortable in my writing. It helped me write
on such short notice and be comfortable with my creations.
I almost always write formally, or try to. I can't remember
all the punctuation rules that I learned in grammar, I do
try to pretend I do though, haha. When I write my school
papers, I usually write very properly and follow all the rules.
Yikes, I hate shortening words. I just feel like a poser doing
that. So, my text messages are always formal, with commas
and punctuation.
Now, my handwriting, good luck reading that! It's almost
as if I'm writing in my own language. Sometimes, I look
back and can't even read my own hand writing. It's sad,
and a little scary, haha. The words go from BOLD to tiny,
slanted left to right, and just written all over random areas
of paper. (Don't want to waste trees, haha.)
I someday hope my writing will bring emotions to people
and I want this class to help me expand more on writing
techniques! :):).

I am very similar to you! Haha! I totally understand the whole "trying to write formally" thing when it comes to text messages. I write everything out yet when I am hand-writing something, I shorten words to jot things down. Later, I have no idea what I wrote and what those shortened words at one point stood for. I tend to do a lot of sketchy/quick writing but honestly, sometimes our best thoughts in writing come from those quick sketched out ideas! : )
ReplyDeleteAs well i can relate to you as a writter.The formal part is not much of the issue for me as the details. The show, don't tell with words. Me to , i have to write everything out, thats where my over revising comes in. Sometimes it's a good thing, because it pulls the whole idea of my stories together.It is so refreshing to hear that someone else has the same style (i guess you could call it that)of writting.
ReplyDeleteYou girls are 20 steps ahead of me...already talking about audience and how it affects our writing choices...revision...sweet. I'm gonna pack my bags and go home...
ReplyDelete...just kidding. We're going to have some fun breaking down these ideas and applying them to academic writing.
