How is my writing process similar and different than that of
my peers? First, I think I should address the obvious, and that is the fact
that every person’s writing is basically the closest glimpse we can truly get
into a person’s psyche and how they think. If you take something that is a
reflection of a person’s mind, then it is pretty obvious that my way of writing
and any other person’s writing style are going to be worlds apart simply because
how differently we think. The one thing that brings all of our style to some
sort of nexus is the writing structure previous people have put forth that
gives all writers and creative minds a common ground to stand on. This is why most stress the importance of the
writing structure and grammar as a whole. The common rules and regulations that
all writers are required to operate within the parameters of, sort of gives us
the curve for which all writers are to be graded on. This is probably the
biggest way I differ from my colleagues more than the thoughts we share and the
opinions we quarrel over, but the reluctance to follow the basic rules. It is
one thing I would like to improve about myself with this class. It cannot be
said though, that might be the one thing I share most with my peers.
Scott, I like what you write about our writing being a reflection of who we are. I guess I just never thought that much into it before, because it makes perfect sense. When we write, it comes directly from our heads and our hearts, making it completely our own. Obviously, there will be some similarities between some peoples writing and others, but if you really break it down and think about it, every one will be different in some way.
ReplyDeleteScott, I really enjoy your philosophical viewpoint on this prompt. What can you take from your peers' processes and apply to your writing? Keep up the good work!
