ENGL 112 Lecture : Blog #1 Personal writing genre.docx
Document Summary
The majority of my writing is done over facebook, emailing with my parents (as they are not as technologically advanced as my friends) and my professors, or texting with my cellphone. At this moment in my studies i am not completely comfortable with writing formal english papers. I strive to achieve a higher level of writing and to use writing in more places than just facebook and other social media. This is my first year of university and consequently i have been writing informally up to this point. By writing over facebook i can be subtle and non- descriptive. Over text messages i feel that, the shorter the better. This means abbreviating certain words and using slang terms because face it, nobody enjoys typing on the miniature keyboard provided on a phone. I tend to write more formally when sending emails. I do so considering the audience that i am targeting. This audience is either my parents or my professors.
