Dane Clark: Journal 7 - My Writing Style

Referencing to Vonnegut’s “How to Write with Style,” when I write, and I mean for anything such as e-mails, business letters, papers, or essays, I never think about my writing style. I don’t think you have to “think” about your voice or style, its just comes out. For instance, when you speak to someone, you don’t think about how you talk or sound, you just speak to communicate. Your voice, whether you think you have one or not, is there. It’s in you when you speak and it’s in you when you write. My voice doesn’t change when it comes to varying audiences. My style is something that I have created and is something that is a part of me. When writing, you’re conveying yourself to the “unknown audience.” There may be some nuances in my style, but it’s never changed to something that wouldn’t be me.
