What have you learned about your own style this semester? Do you agree with Vonnegut’s rules for style? What might you add, change, or remove?

He suggests that is a bad thing to not be wordy. I have learned to get more to the point with my writing. The first piece was difficult for me because it was evaluating my brothers writing so I felt as if I had so much to say but did not know how to shorten it. It ended up being a challenge for me, and through it I learned a lot about how to be concise and truly understand what message I am trying to give. In addition, I use to write how I talk. I learned that that is okay as long as you phrase things in the appropriate way. I learned that my weakness is organization and that I should start with writing rough rough drafts and work off of those. There isn't one right answer when writing. I need to just listen to my instincts and write how I feel. In addition, I need to PROOF read.
