Everyone has very different reasons for blogging; from the basic diary bloggers to aspiring writers to a variety of money making bloggers.
When you started blogging, did you worry about your writing style? Did you even think you have one? I started under the assumption that nobody would really read mine, so why bother really thinking about my style. I must also admit that I have always been somewhat of a smart arse and did well at English in school and subsequent course work assignments.
As time goes on and I have gathered my own little gang of blog friends, I can’t help but be envious at the ease that some of these folks write so beautifully. Each post they do comes out like a perfectly crafted piece of information and makes me wonder if they know how talented they are. I won’t name names just in case I leave somebody out!
Where is this coming from? Well due to my enforced lack of Internet (wankers) I have a gap left in my life and I need to fill the void. So unfortunately for you lot when I am left idle I begin to think, so here I am in pre writing hell.
Lack of Internet or worse illness, I have got use to sitting in front of my computer and typing away to no one at all! I do have to fight the urge to throw flashing evil cylon livebox out the window, but other than that it has a calming affect. Don’t get me wrong its nothing like writing straight to my blog and hitting publish, as there is no interaction except with myself.
So back to my original ponderance, what is your style? Do you consider yourself talented in the writing department?

STYLE ????? Am I meant to have style?? I just put down what comes out of my mind...I admit I try not to swear too much...and have been known to use the spell check...but otherwise it's just Ruthstyle. Great to have you back for a while BTW; any chance of it being permanent yet??
ReplyDeleteMy Style - Verbal Diarohoe, diorrahea,di.....shit. :)
ReplyDeleteUgh-I hate that you don't have internet at home!!! We miss you girl!
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question, I'd have to say Yes, most of the time.
I didn't think so until I started blogging though, and people started telling me I was a good writer.
Ummm...no style. Sometimes ya just gotta get it out, like akelamalu said. Tee hee hee
ReplyDeleteNo style here either - although I tend to censor what I say half the time - just in case the big wigs in the RCMP ever find me! lol
ReplyDeleteI also get writing style envy. LOL... I don't think I have a style, but I have been called "such an honest" writer. That makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteI am just a basic journal blogger though, so it is easy to have content of my daily life. It is fun to read back too, so I really enjoy it.
I try to write so that it looks like I have some sort of half-baked intelligence. Not sure if I have succeeded or not, though!
ReplyDeleteGlad so see you're back. I don't think I have any particular style either. Just your regular journal style blog.
ReplyDeleteStyle? No, write first, edit later ;-)
ReplyDeleteI have the "Ramble" style of anything goes! Not a lot of thought put into the style just a need to share x x
ReplyDeleteDepends on the mood and the amount of sleep! Or lack thereof...
