I would love if all good writing required was to overwhelm the audience with mass sums of commentary and information. I can rattle off facts and commentaries, while typing for hours. Solving all the worlds problems. Unfortunately good writing takes a filter of time, effort, and critical thinking. To see if the information I unload, really justifies the reasoning. I write a lot of opinion related stuff, and talk all the time. Sadly I have developed an arsenal of fun statements that I use in all genres of expression. Some of these statements which i just love have turned up in my collegiate work. For example "catalysts of production" is a term I've used when writing employee training manuals, and its how I also described windows in a classroom. I am able to use my "at the end of the day your name is all you have..." montage in personal narratives, and informative papers on nuclear weapons.
I have a set of beliefs and morals that I use on a daily business. My arsenal of statements and words defines these morals. If I can parlay these beliefs in my work it makes my writing more authentic, it truly defines me. Being able to inject myself in my work takes a lot of critical thinking. I have been able to inject my brand into a variety of work, that is difficult to do, in all the genres and mediums of writing. I have realized I have to be careful. The observation essay was dangerous for me, because I can fire out observations left and right. As i did do. In the initial review from the instructor it was stated I has to much info going on. Ongoing statements like
"Various chair inhabitants took an easy way to arrive, some took harder ways. Yet every filled breathing chair, took the right way. Sitting in the chair was a commitment to be present, alert, and objective".
However I couldn't find a way to kill these wonderful words, and I didn't kill many. It was a detriment to the content of the paper. The notion of analyzing and thinking critically, is the choices I make to adhere to the guidelines of the content, a delicate balance to get the best results.
