Brainstorming lead…

procrastination. Putting off my writing can cause me to rush and not think clearly. This also causes me to have a case of writer’s block. Writer’s block; the condition of not being able to think of what to write on continue with writing. Although my writers block is not major, when I wait till the last minute I tend to run out of things to say as the clock is ticking.

Be it work emails or school assignments, I always keep in mind who I am writing to, so that my writing style does not come off as unprofessional, not respectful, or “too proper”. For example, in the design industry, you can never know whether a person will expect complete professionalism from you, or will he want to talk like a human instead of a robot. When writing emails to clients, coworkers or the boss, I…
