What is writing? Writing is the recorded communication for most languages. Some such as ASL, do not have a written form, but they have other ways to communicate. In English however, it is used for many things. The most common in schools is note taking, the basic necessity to record information for later use. Other forms of this informative writing that I personally enjoy writing is research notes about random things I am curious about and topics for papers at school. More fictional writing I enjoy is short micro-fictions, novellas, and I am personally working on a novel I hope to get edited and published. On occasion I write slam poetry when I am feeling more emotional, I use it like a diary to explain my feelings.

My persona changes depending on what I’m writing, most grammar is lost when I’m writing for myself or I’m writing poetry of any kind, including just a long rant of my feelings. However my diction improves instantly when I need to write a more formal paper such as a critique of a previously done piece of writing, a research paper, or a speech. If I am writing to a teenage audience or a class of my peers usually I simplify the language, but for teachers and other authorities I like to use the thesaurus to find just the right word to convey what I mean.
