Writing styles
It’s 4 in the morning. What strange thoughts has insomnia brought forth today?
How can you find your “voice” by copying someone else’s style?
Some people fly through the create-o-sphere at starship speed, their words a hurricane of meaning.
I point to a starship trying to go through a hurricane and say, “Aha! A cellestial star wash.”
Wish I had the ability to write powerful, poetic prose that grips at your heart.
But no…my world is sarcasm, rants…the occasional glimpse of a not-quite-right poet.
I skip all the fluff and go for the jugular.
It’s more fun to find a flower of laughter in the dung heap of humanity than use flowery words to describe the essence of dung.
Does that make me a cr@ppy writer?

Not at all. It makes you an honest writer.

There is no point to writing if you don’t do it your way! That’s what I think. I love what you said at the end about the flower of laughter in the dung heap.

I tried to copy people’s style, when I first started writing. It was like an elephant trying to dance in a tutu. 🙂

Thanks. Some people like a lot of description. I fall asleep in the middle of it. 🙂

A university student once told me I had a mind like Occam’s Razor. I think you have one, too.

I wonder if Occam had any idea that fractals existed, or spooky action from a distance. I think my mind is like sub atomic particles — it’s not there until it is. I have my lucid moments. 🙂

Sometimes, when I read other people’s writing, I wonder how others view mine. Thanks. 🙂
