Journal Nine

I have learned that I am not always good at writing for all purposes. My style generally seems to be strongest when I am writing satirically or writing an opinion paper. I don't always write the strongest on research papers, especially when finding information turns out to be a scavenger hunt.
I do agree with Vonnegut's rules, especially the one about writing about something you're passionate about. I'm not sure how to change the seventh rule (pity the reader) but I don't completely agree with that one. I feel like we should challenge readers more often than dumbing down our ideas so that they can understand.
