Writing Style

I don't know that I have a very specific writing style yet. It is something that I'm still trying to figure out how to make better and make more of my own.

I know that when I'm writing something for a class that I don't like, my writing definitely lacks. I write much better when I am interested in the topic I'm writing about. I've found that I can actually write pretty well when I like what I'm writing about; the thoughts just keep coming and I can get the paper or assignment done very quickly. On the other hand, if I have to write about something that I really could care less about, all I'm thinking about is getting it over with.

Some things I struggle with when writing are introductions and conclusions. Some people always come up with creative, funny intros that make you actually want to read their papers. I am not that person. My intros are usually boring and cliche, because I never know what to write. I feel that I'm even worse at writing conclusions. They tend to be about a sentence long, and then I ramble on about something else completely irrelevant and stupid because I don't want a conclusion that is only a sentence long. If I could just write the middle paragraphs and skip the intro and conclusion, my writing would probably be a lot better.

I write best when I have music or t.v. or something else going on in the background. If it's dead silent and I'm trying to write, all I'll think about is the silence and the fact that I'm bored and don't really feel like writing at the moment. Also, in the essay we read last night the author said that you should find where you like to write and what you like to write on or with. I definitely choose my computer. That room is more secluded from the rest of my family, and I hate handwriting papers because it gets messy and my hand starts to hurt after a while.

Other than that, I don't really know how to describe my writing style. I don't really do anything too different or exciting. I like to include humor and sarcasm in my writing, but that isn't always possible depending on what I'm writing about. Like right now for instance.
