Response to Shipka questions

From Nick's blog:
1. Shipka talks about how the choice of particular words/ideas affects what is produced. How do you change your style of writing when you're putting a post on your blog?

My response:
This question brings up other interesting questions, like how a person defines themselves in different situations. I personally try to be fairly consistent in the way I speak and write, but the writing that goes into my blog does tend to be more casual than what goes into something like a 6-page paper that makes up half of my grade. I always like to use concise, descriptive words to make my point as clear as possible, but I don't spend as much time trying to get the perfect word as I would in a more "important" assignment. And since this is more about initial impressions than final conclusions, it allows the content to be more spontaneous, so that's what you'll see in my blog.
