Everyone's personality is unique and so their writing style is too!
On this page I will talk about some of these styles of writing and give you my own examples.
You will also find book reviews for the "How To" writing references I used .




Journal or Diary
Putting my thoughts down on paper clarifies what is going on in my life at this moment!
I can reread it over as many times as I need to. This helps me to sort out my feelings on a particular subject..
How high on my list of priorities will I put it?
Does the fact that other people think I shouldn't do something new-just because it is "high-risk"-mean that I need to rethink it? Maybe and maybe not!
Perhaps I've already questioned myself a dozen times before making my final decision! I'm the only one that knows just how much thought and research I put into this project! Others can only guess!!!
Check out this style of writing!




Poetry
This is a style of self expression that has no boundaries!
When a sentence will not do an idea justice, paint a mind picture for the reader!

Come A Running

"Something's going on...
We all need to see what it is!?
Mustn't miss out on anything
After all-it may benefit us!
Cat treats-tuna, salmon, chicken...
Tarter control for our teeth???
Whatever that means
Tastes real good though-we like them!"




Haiku is a Japanese verse form that relies on brevity and simplicity to convey its message.
It usually consists of three lines of five, seven, and five syllables, and frequently includes natural images or themes.

Majestic feline
Stands tall, fearless and gentle
Anticipating!




I used both poetry and narrative to weave a tale about cats .
