All of these elements of style helped them write all of their amazing stories. Whitewashing the Fence- Mark Twain has a very unique writing style.…

Over 15 years ago, Robert Nash (2011) developed a new academic writing style called Scholarly Personal Narrative (SPN). For the first time in academics the unacceptable use of the ‘subjective I [me]’was acceptable in scholarly writing.

Throughout the class, I would ideally like to focus on writing short stories, specifically focusing on fantasy. Personally, fantasy is one of my favorite genres to read, as I feel that an author has more artistic liberty with their story. Fantasy challenges the mind, making people consider the impossible and unbelievably if only for the course of the story. That’s what I love about it--it inspires people seek out the fantastical in everyday life. In the future, I want to be an author and…

My Writing Style Lacks Spontaneity The given assignment for today’s paper is for me to break down and attempt to describe the thoughts I put into my particular writing process.

It would be similar to how I would talk to them in person and I would use words that would be deemed informal to more professional type people. When I ever do have to write to professionals such as instructors, it would be…
