Bailey A

There are many new trends of writing electronically to help improve your writing skills and stay connected with people. Many of my friends went to other colleges so I keep in touch with them through facebook. I use this to chat about random thoughts and quick chit-chats in an informal way with people. I do think my writing changes from pen and paper to electronically through facebook. My writing is more casual online and I use more slang than I would in a paper. I think my style of writing chances because of the audience I'm chatting with online. Most of the people are my close friends so proper English and grammar is ignored. On something like a paper for a class I take more time to evaluate what is it I am trying to say and edit to make sure I use proper punctuation and spelling. I think this shows that the process of writing can be executed in many different ways; it can be short and casual or long and proper. There are many different ways to compose writing to fit any situation.

  1. You bring up a crucial issue, Bailey: audience.

    Any effective writer has to account for his audience when he writes. What works in one context may not work in another...

  2. ALSO - be sure to label your posts. Not just in the title (search engines don't always find that, for whatever reason), but in the box marked "labels" at the bottom.

    You can/should go back and label this post...
