My blog this year has affected my writing throughout my entire CTW class. Even though I was not on top of the blogs this year I still noticed that I changed my writing style. I feel as though my writing has more of my own word and voice in it. I really like this change because it makes it easier to write and honestly more fun.
The reason for this shift in my writing is likely because of this blog and the research paper that I wrote this quarter. In both of these I was encouraged to voice my own opinion, which is something I am not generally used to in academic writing. I like it. It makes me more comfortable with my writing and it seems more personal, even if it is not about something that really interests me.
Obviously my blog writing and my academic writing are different, but I have seen some aspects that are shared in both of them. As I said my writing has had more of a personal touch this year. But also I feel like I am more able to take my writing and ideas to a deeper level. I believe I learned that from all the long papers that we have had this year. As my professor generally says, I do not actually care about word count I just put a page limit to create a deeper level of analytics out of you and your writing. And this has worked well. But unfortunately I have to write 8 pages in order to do so. I have yet to master the deep 2-3 page essay.
