What's Your Style?

We've covered a lot the past few months. We've looked at how to write simply, with someone else, and cohesively. We've talked about following rules and breaking rules. We've looked at about as many styles of writing as we have styles of fashion.

We've got about as many styles as there are children in large families on TLC. (Though that may quickly be false, I hear there's a show in the works called, "Bob and Sue with Thirty-Two.) As many looks as you can think of, there's a style of writing that can be seen as a parallel.

So what's your style? What sets you apart? What's your statement?

How do you write? What's your hook? Where's your voice?

Those questions aren't that different from each other in terms of underlying context.

Maybe your style's more classical with a twist:

And you write with a dignified flair for the pompous with a harsh reality.


Or maybe you're more barebones with a laidback feel:

And your writing comes from a basic place with short sentences with little fluff.


Or maybe somewhere in between with a casual feel and a dash of personality:

And you take a straightfoward approach with a spice of personality that makes your writing unique.

Or maybe you're none of these! Maybe you're an Anthropologie girl or a Abercrombie boy, a Thrift Store chic chica or a Gucci garcon.

No matter what you are, be you. And write from the heart. And may good fashion choices and great sales greet you wherever you go with your words.
