Find Your Style

We constantly have voices from our past telling us, reminding us, persuading us who we should be, what we should say, how we need to write.

Back in ye old English class, we learned all the correct phraseology, when to use this word and that comma, and don’t use contractions, it’s not formal, etc., etc., etc.

BUT as we adult on in life, we develop our own style to something that fits our personality, our family, our peoples.

I have to fight against those voices everytime I put hand to keyboard.

…what I should, how I should, would Mrs. Bach, my senior composition teacher, like me to write, vs what I want to convey.

My original goals for this blog were:

…be myself

…encourage people

…bring something good and uplifting

…cause people to think

…don’t sound religious

…don’t write like an English major

…not too many words

That’s my style so far.

What’s yours?
