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 :)

  1. First of all, I love how you include a new picture on your blog each week!

    I can relate to your writing and thought process. I tend to be very direct and to the point as well. I guess it depends on the type of writing that I am doing also. If I know i am supposed to be writing a story, I will add much more detail than other types of writing. I don't naturally think or write creatively though. I have to be intentional. I like how you write in your journal and are able to go back and see where you were emotionally that day. Thanks for sharing!
