Chapter 26,27

It's important to "create your own look" as outlined in chapters 26 and 27. There are all different forms of writing, each piece should be unique or else it would just get boring to read. Without any differences in every authors writing, reading would just become repetitive and boring. Throughout high school i noticed that I would tend to write in a style that would impress my teachers and fit their requirements because I wanted that "A" paper. The problem with this is that my writing became to robotic and boring, I didn't express any of my thoughts in my own creative style. The article points out an important point that all writers should take note of; It says that, "It is not always better to be 'correct' than it is to be 'appropriate'". This means that you don't always have to follow the book word by word, you can take risks that don't exactly follow the rules and as long as they're appropriate, it works.
