I do have trouble in my writing once every so often. I tend
to repeat what I say when I need my paper to be longer. I tend to repeat what I
say when I need my paper to be longer. It’s always a challenge for me to write
a lot because I tend to say what I need to say pretty quickly then I go back
through my paper to add in those “filler” words and sentences. As always I need to work on my writing and I can
always do better at my writing style.

Thomas Style
Writing style is very important in writing and it’s what keeps
the reader interested in the paper. I find that many times when I read, I lose
my focus really fast because the author is really bland (like my Engineering
teacher in high school). Yes, everyone has a different writing style, but I have
to admit a lot of writing styles are very similar. I tend to lean more towards a creative way of
writing just because it drags my mind away from my daily troubles and clutter
in life. I feel like the Joker sometimes when it comes to writing and I think
he puts it best in most cases, “Why so Serious?”. Yes, I know sometimes writing
needs to be serious in order to persuade or call others to action. The fun
stuff to read, however, is more humoristic. I like to add humor to my writing
but at times it’s hard to find the appropriate time to add in a joke or two.

I have to read lots of literary criticism/"serious" articles in my grad program and it can get really dry. So I love authors who write creatively about non-fiction and seemingly "boring" topics because then those topics become interesting. So I say you can be serious AND still have a wonderful and engaging writing style.
ReplyDeleteI agree when writing a paper it should engage the reader because if it doesn't the reader won't pay attention. Then after reading the paper the reader will just title it boring.
ReplyDeleteCreativity is one I struggle with. Usually I focus so hard on getting all my points down that I forget to be clever or creative. It can be hard to read when things are always serious and bland so good job on being creative!
ReplyDeleteI like that you included the importance of occasional humor in some writing to engage the reader and make them more interested in what you write. I can also relate to your statements about "filler." It's often tempting to continually restate a main idea when you are faced with a length requirement
