I don't think I talk that much really. At least I hope not and if I do, sorry. But I tend to write as though I am speaking, quite often fresh my thought process. It's...bad writing to most, but easily refinable. Personally I don't think it's anyones business to judge whether or not someone's writing is good or not as long as they are writing, but I suppose...there is bad composition out there.
Really, the way I like to go about writing is the same way you would...brainstorm as an engineer. No matter what you type what you come up with. You throw down everything you've got and piece it together later. Right now, I can envision myself reading this off to a small group. It's just keeping writing natural.
To me, complex, scholarly, properly puncuated writing is disgusting. It's so artificial and boring. But I guess...if writing like that gives you attention, why wouldn't some students do it?
Great point! Writing often starts off for me as a flood of thoughts that I personally jot down as they come to me... organizing and connecting them though, that kinda sucks
ReplyDeleteAdmittedly, I am the type of person who is picky about the structure, punctuation, etc. of my writing, but you make a good point. It doesn't really make sense to write in any way besides how you would normally talk, and I think a lot of people would find this type of straight-forward writing to be refreshing. You may just lead the world in a revolutionary, world-wide change in the way we write. Congrats
