What’s Your Style?

What’s Your Style?.

Style affects everything from fashion to home decor. Some styles are just fads and then there are the classics. In fashion, neon colors tend to be the fads and Chanel’s LBD is a classic. In writing, dialect or slang can be seen as fads. Even choosing to forego proper punctuation or capitalization have been fads among certain groups of writers. An academic standard such as MLA is that Chanel dress. I am a denim girl in both daily clothing and writing. I wear and write what is comfortable. That means I write exactly as I speak and think. I don’t embellish with a lot of baubles, lace, or doodads. Sometimes I am vibrant, sometimes I am very casual, and other times I have to be more formal. But I am never fussy, completely frivolous, or dull (at least in my humble opinion.) Unless you are a technical writer, I don’t believe that it is necessary to maintain a formal distance in your writing. That is one of the great things about writing, being able to share yourself. So go try on some of the fads and classics. Who knows you may enjoy getting into some neon.
