Writing Style

I found an interesting article on “10 Ways To Stand Out And Develop A Unique Writing Style” (https://writersedit.com/fiction-writing/develop-unique-writing-style/). Interestingly, the author recommends that writers use their experiences as a springboard. That resonates with me because I use my background a lot. Almost all of my PhD papers were based on my background – I took ideas from previous assignments (in other programs), previous positions, and so on.

Your writing style is clearly important. The article “Tips for Finding Your Own Writing Style” (https://www.writersdigest.com/improve-my-writing/tips-for-finding-your-own-writing-style) argues that your writing style is your signature that differentiates your work from the work of others.

I believe I have an easy-to-read style. That is good, but I know it could be viewed as informal.

My father has a more “complex” writing style that is very good. Here is a note he wrote years ago….

“Yes, I was rudely awaked by the quality and taste of your food. Indeed I will be back and also bring a friend with me. Greatly impressed!”

It was a review of the food at Taco Bell. My father is very good at precis writing.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
