Patterns of writing


My thought process for writing at work is usually direct and to the point with enough detail that I will remember the situation if I go back and read the entry later. I hope it does not sound like reading the instruction manual that comes with a new appliance but for my work that is what is needed. I need to list the persons involved, specifically how they are involved, actions and conclusions. Extra detail may indicate attitude or preferences that should not be involved in the case file. If I am writing in my journal at home I add colorful language, unnecessary details and very blunt and biased opinions. Sometimes I go back and read them journal and I think, damn I was really mad that day or no wonder I broke up with that jerk. When I want to escape reality I read a a fictitious little romance novel with a happy ending.
Happy Thansgiving to All :)

I took the test Crystal posted on her blog. No surprise to me I scored 12 on left and 4 on right. I don’t know how to pull from my creative side except perhaps in writing. I don’t naturally write with a flow, it takes a lot of re-writing before I feel done with it. I love excel. Not only can I make lists but I can sort and re-sort them. I make a lot of decisions at work but I like to find the evidence or at least a reference to back it up. I have no artistic musical talent. I am an awkward dancer and would prefer to never dance unless it is slow (and with a man). I want to have more fun but I seem to gravitate toward being the organizer not the performer. The above picture is Tolowa Nation's Indian Day celebration a year or so ago. I was in on the planning, slicing and dicing food then stay for clean up. Then I could not wait for the next meeting so we could evaluate how it went and what we could change for the next year. I am very much the "worker bee" and not the singer or dancer.
