Style In Writing

In writing this blog I feel it is very important that the thoughts that I put into it are clear. I recently read the book The Elements of Style by William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White. This book has really helped me to understand more fully the importance of having clear and well organized thoughts before you begin to write. I do not believe that you can produce a well written piece of work if you do not think about it first and know what you are going to say. Also through reading the book I have gained a better understanding of the importance of style as you write. Style, in my opinion, is something that comes naturally and expresses your feelings and moods in a way that the reader can see throughout your writing. I hope that as I continue this blog I will be able to express my opinions and views on things well enough that everyone can enjoy reading as well as understand how I feel.
