choices I’d make. It became a writing style; a lifestyle. For 15 years I have taught myself the fundamentals of what there is to know when it comes to poetry and the type of rhythms there are. The fascination that I found through different techniques inspired me to create my own work lengthy enough to perform publicly. Through these performances I have also sampled other styles by adding melancholy themes or comedic jokes in the mix to relieve the tension. My style could be considered a jack of…

specifically from an author’s personal preference. All authors demonstrate different styles that appeal to one audience or the other.

The whole reason why Benjamin Franklin considered his own writing style is because he thought it was more elegant than other writing styles. Benjamin Franklin’s liked his writing style for several reasons Franklin thought good writing should be short, clear, and smooth.

aspects of Hemingway’s writing that make it so distinct and noticeable. His themes that people could relate to and his blunt style define his writing. The aforementioned themes that Hemingway wrote about were universal so many people could relate to his works. Love, war, nature, athletics, death, and emasculation are all concepts that were fresh and familiar to the minds of Hemingway’s audience. Addressing these themes in his work…

narrative writing styles. Persuasive writing comes easier to me because I can apply passion to my topic and have the ability to share that passion with others. I also can apply emotion that others can relate to and feel I can make a difference and start the process of changing issues like racism, stereotyping, or global warming. I enjoy narrative writing because it is telling a story. I can tell one of my own experience or share one as though I am telling a story to my younger siblings. This…

Billy Collins was an American writer whose phenomenally open verse—portrayed by plain dialect, delicate silliness, and a ready thankfulness for the everyday—made him a standout amongst the most well-known artists in the United States.

There’s always a feeling that you could’ve added more or read it one last time but sometimes time won’t prevail. Although, a perfect piece can be achievable through revision. I believe revising a piece with fresh eyes gives you a better perspective of your writing style and helps you choose things that will enhance your piece. Most of my revisions were not grammatical but for the need to add more…

distress. What happens when this occurs during the writing stages? What happens when a person has so many ideas to explore, and yet has to somehow cut down? That is what many writers face when attempting to write any type of piece, and it can truly influence whether or not the piece is strong or not. As someone who has many ideas, I often get swept away by them rather than controlling them. This type of style is what I call “Whirlwind Writing”. This style has both benefits and pitfalls: the…
