So, lately I've been on this solitude kick and not really talking to friends. I realized that it was time to touch base so I got really high and wrote long texts to some dear ones. But even in my texts, I write like a writer. I guess I'm saying my written form of communication crosses all forms or genres here. And as the kids would say, I wrote a "paragraph," which is not always a good thing. I wouldn't consider myself a wordy writer. But I am, after all, a writer. Do you think you're still a writing when texting or emailing or whatever?
Nah dude, wen im textin or whevs, i rite just like the kidz, fastest easiest way, and i dont correct r enythng. I'm a lot more under control for emails though. And sometimes I'll rise up to psuedo-literary writing style, depending on who I'm writing to, and what about. Or sometimes maybe my head is just filled with some particular kind of style and I want to write like that, so I do, just for fun and practice.
Yes. The way I figure it, it's all practice. I worry about SPAG stuff and proper writing style when I'm making out a grocery list or scribbling notes to myself.
Same. I don't stop being a writer when I'm not working on a story. Everything I write down is still written correctly. And the Oxford comma still has a place.
Hi, Well here's an odd thing to confess - but I've only ever sent one text in my life, and it was a single word - "Hello" just to see if I could work out how to do it, probably ten years ago. Never bothered since. Personally I think texting is the most stupid thing to have ever been invented! I've got better things to do with my thumbs and if I want to talk to someone I'll call them. But becoming a more serious writer has actually increased my aversion to texting - if that was even possible. I can't read an abbreviation without instantly wanting to correct it! And damn even my emails are mostly double checked! Cheers, Greg.
I'm long winded. I know it. Brevity just isn't my strong suit. My texts, chats and posts are often way over thought and over worded. I can't seem to help it. I think it's the writer in me. Then again, I might just be a perfectionist who can't shut up. There. That was nice and short.
Kind of. I'm not consciously thinking of it as Writing with a capital W, but I do text in full sentences with punctuation. Monster.
