Consistent style

I think consistent style does sometimes restrict creativity. Having a certain style sometimes many limit the entertainment of a piece of writing if the author wont go out side of their boundaries. This will make a piece of work boring if there is no uniqueness or change from the previous. Creativity to me is something different in every piece of work whether it be a book, article or blog. Not changing a thing from previous work can dull the excitement value of the work. On the other hand if an author has a style that is unique, entertaining and ever changing it can make the reader want more. This obviously is a good thing wanting your reader coming back for more, this shows that the excitement for the piece of work is there and leaving the reading wanting more. This consistent style can enhance creativity because the style of the writer is unique enough to have a active mind and make the work ever changing. Having a style that helps bring out the creative side makes the readers experience more enjoyable and willing to come back for more. Either way there are positives and negatives about the consistent style of the writer, it all depends on the reader and what they enjoy.

Visual Writing

Writing to me has become more visual over the years. One part is to make it easier for the reader to understand what they are reading and to comprehend it a bit clearer and easier. I think in Leonardo da Vinci's piece he was explaining a diagram that he had drawn and that is why there are is so much text around the picture. As the years go on sciencetists are discovering more and more about certain subjects and more detail is going into every discovery. This brings more information to the surface and now drawing a picture to describe a certain subject is easier on the reader to understand what is being said. Now the internet is becoming a house hold thing where children not even in there teen are searching the web. If online books and websites are more visual it makes it much more entertaining and visually pleasing the viewer. I believe that the writing in the near future is going to start to look like Leonardo da Vinci’s work. It is only a matter of time before there are more diagrams and pictures describing what are written in college level text books. In some cases it is quit easier to understanding something for the first time if you have something visual look at while tring to read it.

"Writing well is reading well"

I agree 100 percent with this quote. It is very clear to understand as well. There is a little bit of a hidden meaning to this as well. If one can write well which can mean they simply discuss and make a clear understanding to what one is writing, I would say they are a good writer if anyone can accomplish this task. If they can get there point across in a convincing and timely manner I would say that they are a good writer. On the other side of this quote anyone able to read well can be made into a good writer. If one can fully understand and comprehend what they are reading, then they will be a good reader/writer. If they can discuss what they have read in detail, then I would say they are a good reader. Now the quote states "writing well is reading well", this would mean that one would be a good reader if they fully understand what they are writing about and are capable of allowing the people reading there text to understand as well. I agree with this in that if a well distinguished author is a good reader they can incorporate there reading skills into a great piece of there own work. There are many authors that are capable of allowing there readers to be fully eclipsed into there work which I believe is a sign of a great writer. So being able to write well is a true assessment or there reading ability.

My academic back ground is quite different then those of everybody else. I graduated high school in 2003 and I’m a senior in college now. One might wonder where did all the years go but I simply took two years off of school to try to receive a hockey scholarship from a college. I spent two years playing hockey before I enrolled into Manhattanville. It was not such a smooth transition from the two year layoff. My freshman year was a bit challenging to say the least. I haven’t read or done any school work for two or so years so I was quite difficult coming back into the academic world. The work became easier and I have proceeded to work toward a major in management and minor in communications with what I would say with minimal bumps in the road. As the years went on I became more confident in what I wanted to accomplish in my time at Manhattanville. Becoming a management major opened the doors to many opportunities that I would have never stumbled upon if I either didn’t choose this school or the major. Throughout my time between graduating high school and now I have a better understanding on what I really want to do with my life come May when I graduate college. I have always wanted to become an entrepreneur and work for my self and run my own company. Last summer I was proposed with an idea about an advertising/directory website that could help people navigate through certain towns and cities. I ran with it and now I have created one website and am in the process of creating another. This helped me learn valuable information on the steps and the work it takes to start and run a small business. This course fits into this by improving my ability to advertise and make it easier for the visitors to my site to understand more about the site and how it can help them. This course will also help me to develop flyers and posters or another advertisement to get traffic to my sites. The more traffic the more business will want to advertise on our site.
