Writing tips for ya'll

1. Use what I believe to be the most important of the 6 traits : VOICE. 

     I think that this is the most important aspect of writing, if you are not making writing your own and using your own personality and voice in whatever you're writing, than you might as well just not write in my opinion. Readers should feel as though they know you a little better after they read a piece of writing done by you.

2.Write quickly

     I think the best way to get your ideas out and still keep voice is to write a first draft quickly. Just get in the zone and pump it out, then you can go back and change anything you want and fix conventional errors, but at least you know that your ideas are there as well as your voice.

3. Make it up

     Sometimes, when I am stuck and cant think of what to say, I bullshit a little. Be repetitive if you cant think of something new, you can always go back and take it out and change it when it comes to you but for the time being it is easier to just get something out that makes sense and move on to the next idea.

4. Condense/ Expand

    Decide whether this paper is better read as a shorter more condensed piece or an extended longer piece. Depending on what kind of paper you are writing it is sometimes better for there to be less to read but lots of information and facts and sometimes it is better to have more to read with more personal aspects to it.

5. Write about something that matters

     It is always easier to write about something that matters to you. Something that interests you. Writing about something that you do not find relevant or important will ultimately just be a frustrating experience. Find something that you want to write about that that is "fun" for you to research and talk about to an audience.

Hope these are helpful to some of you!

Two truths and a lie

1. I was adopted from a couple from Idaho before I was born to my mother and father and my sister aleks who now lives in chicago.
2. I am transferring to UNLV at the end of this semester to study Hospitality Management.
3. Both of my parents and my sister attended or are attending the University of Montana

Personality Test

I took the personality test and my results said that i was a type 7. It says that 7's are optimistic thrill seekers who see life as an adventure, pretty much sums me up.

It also says that once things loose their fun people who are 7s lose interest and this means things can often go unfinished, i thought this was the most inaccurate part for me because I get annoyed when things go unfinished. It also says that 7s fear being overwhelmed by the struggles of life, which its true for me.

When i went to the nine types site it said that my basic desire is to be happy while my basic fear is to be deprived. I think this is absolutely true about me. My world view is said to be full of options and opportunity and that i look forward to the future. (9 types website) I think this is true about me as well. This test pretty much hit the nail on the head. I looked briefly at the other types and I dont think any of them fit me as well as a 7. 

This was very interesting and accurate I think.
