After taking a mini-break from blogger last week, I realized how much I actually LOVE blogging.
I missed it. I really missed it.
It is my little morning ritual after I get the kids ready for school and pack lunches and get them dressed and out the door. I just sit back with my cup of hot cocoa (even in 100 degree weather) and write to my little hearts content when they are gone. So Hello my old friend, I have missed you.
Looking back at my previous posts I noticed a trend in my blog writing. Notably 3 things:
1. I REALLY like caps to emphasize certain words. REALLY.
2. I use A LOT of parentheses (like this)
3. I like to use dot dot dot.... to trail off and leave the reader in suspense, or to stretch out my train of thought...or just because.
I dont know when it started, I guess I have always written like that. I went back through some emails that I have written to friends, some old school papers etc. and realize that I use ALL of the above PLUS an additional few quirks.
-I like the word etc.(can't you tell)
-I like to use exclamation points...for EVERYTHING!! (I guess I want people to know I am really enthusiastic about the things I say. A period is just so...so...Blah. An exclamation point is welcoming and lets people know you are excited about what you are saying!! See the difference?)
-I REALLY like the use of the colon : Dont know why, I really do.
-The more question marks i put the more confused i am. does that make sense?(see, slightly questioning...) Had I used 2 or 3 question marks you would know the severity of my pondering.
I also am not excessively diligent about spell check. (or as I like to call it, brain workign faster than fingers can type...) See, I misspelled working!
so that is my writing style. I was always told you should write the way you would talk.
What is YOUR writing style??

I've just been reading your post about Jillian, I can't imagine what you have both been through, I think you are very strong and brave. Ten years is a big milestone, I hope you are both as ok as you can be

My writing style is the same...big surprise!
Yep - I'm a big user of ! and smileys too!! LOL, not so much colons but I tend to use 'quotes' to try to emphasise a word rather than caps - just hadn't thought of using caps I guess! LOL
I also can't do short answers - there's always so much I want to say - and guess what - I talk a lot too :) so I guess I do write like I talk - lots!!
