Remarkably, I found that in accordance with my paper’s original focus on the inner voice we all possess, and the effect this inherent persona can have on our determinations, that this very mechanism can be perceived as a function of great influence when contrasting the segregated mental paths carved by Will and I from my introduction of the concept in my free-write. In particular, the most ostensible variances are apparent in the approach and tone employed by each writer, which culminate to reveal that our individual perceptions and thought greatly impact the composition of our works, and can cause all the difference in actualizing exceptional revision by presenting new viewpoints we had not explored.

For example, when Will expresses that “When reading Shitty First Drafts the author immediately put the editorial thoughts that I questioned into writing…By reading Shitty First Drafts I was able to find regularity in the interpersonal dialogue of one’s own piece. By running ideas through one’s head as well as giving oneself time to process and edit a piece, the author of Shitty First Drafts creates normalcy in the often diverse strategy field of self-editing one’s paper,” it is overt that Will uses an objective-based tone which remains in the bounds of its basis, as when considering this excerpt in conjunction with the clarification of his approach, it is clear that the purpose behind his paper can be defined as undertaking to view the concept of the inner critic in terms of its original context by concentrating on its literary application. Whereas in my discourse, I find that an attitude of unrestrained contemplation, which draws similarity with the un-objectified but meditative restriction of my free write, is sustained through my paper as is apparent through its basis which is rooted in the development of my understanding through reflection. This tone of self-examination is distinct in the progression of my essay, when considering conceptual flow of my essay which can be clarified through the following fragments, “Thus, I took upon practicing this process of introspection and discovered that I not only have a voice in my head…but I had come to make conclusions about this voice which I consider to permit a glimpse into the typically obscured operations of our minds…through questioning the existence of this lone voice, I came to deduce that it was my own voice…
An article that uses a lot of rhetorical devices is Shitty First Drafts by Anne Lamott. The speaker of this article is obviously Anne Lamott; the reader gets to understand her more after she shares some personal experiences. Lamott wants people to know that their first drafts are supposed to be shitty. This article is meant for college students who just finished their first draft and is looking for improvement. The purpose of this whole article is to inform you that your first draft is supposed to be horrible because no one can just pull an amazing paper from no where, not even the people who write for a living. The whole subject is telling you that your first drafts are going to be bad, so make sure to write multiple drafts before you
Both of the articles “Dancing with Professors” by Patricia Limerick and “Shitty First Drafts” by Anne Lamott resolve the issues faced by college students when writing papers. The first article, “Dancing with Professors,” explains why college professors expect more elaborate papers even though they assign dull and un-motivational reading to their students. On the other end of the writing spectrum, “Shitty First Drafts” explains how valuable the first draft is to students, and why students should not feel weary about writing them.
Writing is a form of communication that can be expressed in various ways. The short story “On Keeping a Notebook” written by Joan Didion guides the reader through her thinking process as she tries to answer why and what it means to write in her notebook. Although, it can be difficult to follow and understand her thinking it fascinates me to see her thinking process come to a full circle. I felt a personal connection with her when she writes “We are brought up in the ethic that others, any others, all others, are by definition more interesting that ourselves; taught to be diffident, just that this side of self-effacing.” Didion’s statement made me realized the experiences one has can affect one’s perspective as one writes and reads despite how
Do you remember when you were a kid and you never wanted to go to sleep ? well I do and I learned my lesson. It all started when I was at my grandpas house and i was spending the night. I didn't know what to do so i made up the game

Trimble stated, “Good writers write in a natural tone.” Writing in a natural tone helps the writer to focus and organize their thoughts clearly. Hadas stated, “write in a way that comes natural, but it takes time to write in your natural voice.” This is an inspiring phrase that Rachel stated, because it is one of my weaknesses in writing. I tend to start my papers after reading other people’s work on the same topic, so I can follow in their footsteps in order to write a good paper. But this is not a great strategies because, we tend to shot down the voices inside of us, just to write like someone else. Now that I realized that good writing comes in a natural tone of voice, I need to work on my writings more, by thinking more compiling my own ideas in a draft. Therefore, writing in a natural tone is one of the greatest strategies to become a successful writer, and the way to do this is writing a couple of drafts to get all the ideas
The essay should not overly serious and takes risks to constantly push the boundaries to expose the author’s voice. While the other’s perspectives play a small role in the creation of an essay, the writer is always justified to take their own path in their writing and disregard any other
ideas of individuality into their works allowing the readers to think for themselves. In a
Explaining that she is constantly writing, Radford describes her own writing process as something she undertakes in response to someone or something. Clearly outlining the notion of an encounter as that which allows her writing to occur, Radford establishes herself as a person who is

Being truthful on an objective voice within our writing is something that can be impossible because of how we express ourselves with our personal experiences and the way people interpret it. We can’t say that our writing or our voice does not have originality because it is a buildup of other people’s thoughts and discourses. Your “unique voice” is not really just your own voice according to James E’ Porter. Donald Murray says that writing is always something personal, so in all sense he thinks, all writing is autobiographical. Murray does not refer to autobiographical as someone telling a story about themselves, but more about the nature of the text and on how it contains traces back to its writer.
For my first paper I'll talk about voice, and how it affects the conversations that we have with other people, and how we perceive certain voices to sound in stories, and other works that we read. I think that in general voice is a type of mystery, and that it is one of those things that we really can't understand. When looking at a piece of writing I think that a clear and concise voice is one of the things that makes a piece work. This is my own feeling, and it might not agree with others, but when I'm reading a story, and it is full of good stuff like conversation, and heart felt feelings, I feel that the author is able to tell me what he/she is trying to say, I think that it has a better impact on the reader compared to the writing that goes on about nothing, and seems to only have one monotone voice.
...with Robbe-Grillet on the basis that writing is an art form which is constantly changing. Writers must adapt their writing style in order to intrigue and inspire their audiences. Experimental literature is the answer for writers who want to push the boundaries of the conventional text to create an original art piece. However, movements, such as Kenneth Goldsmith’s self-indulgent idea of conceptual poetics may devalue previous understandings of originality. As a result, writers will begin pushing boundaries for the sake of pushing boundaries. This creates the reverse effect: originality will become unoriginal. Furthermore, literature has always been a way of archiving history, whether writing is fact or fiction it tells our story to future generations. If conceptual writing continues to be form without content all that will remain is a copy, of a copy, of a copy.
Having drawn on Uspensky, and preferring ‘perceptual’ to his psychological plane, Fowler (1986/1996) expands Uspensky’s subjective and objective, or the internal and external narrations into four Types of A, B, C, and D. As an internal narration, Type A is narrated from a POV within a character’s consciousness; in the traditional approach, this type is called the first person narration or the personal narration as put by Stanzel. Type B, as another kind of internal narration, is narrated by an extra-diegetic narrator who is not a character in the story but he is able to focalize the story within one of the character’s mind. This type is dominant in TTL. However, as a kind of external narration, Type C is narrated by an omniscient narrator “from a position outside of
Imagine a world where all the authors write in an objective perspective. Would not it be a paradise for all the readers? But looking at the circumstances which our authors are in today, it would only stay as a Utopia. All authors add something from themselves in their text and they should. But if it comes to blurring the text for some readers, it is unaccepted. Because, an author`s characteristics do make a huge difference in a text and some of those characteristics and their influences on a text will be discussed in this essay.
