There is no doubt in my mind that over a course of time one's writing changes substantially, more specifically my own writing. When comparing my writing from October of 2013 and up to now, October 2014, the comparison is mediocre. I feel that as a writer throughout a year I have flourished into a completely different style from what I previously executed.
A primary difference I have seen when juxtaposing my blog of 10/14/13 to my much more recent blog of 9/29 I immediately notice the length difference. I feel that previously it would not be rather surprising to find in my writing a rather confusing tangent of some sort. My style consisted of verbose paragraphs that seemed to have no end whatsoever. Fortunately, to my entertainment and of others, that phase has long ended and gone are the never ending sentences. Overall, I feel that my paragraphs are much more straight to the point and rather direct.
Another important feature we I have improved upon would be my diction. Throughout my past blogs it is efficient to say that my word choice was lacking. I feel that currently my vocabulary is much more proper and accurate compared to past years. A very important example of this would be, "These emotions led to the deep thinking of what was life and death truly, and what was it like to know your days were counted. " This is taken from one of my very first blogs. Today I would probably word this to be something like, "I was influenced by a series of emotion to ponder about my life, from start to end. I was influenced to think about the limited time we would be on this planet, while alive." In my most sincere opinion I feel that despite meaning the same thing, both sentences are completely different. I feel that this truly shows how I have developed as writer.
