I don't have the notion that everybody has to write in some single academic style.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
However, please allow me to say that the fundamental style of my writing has been to start from my personal matters and then to link it up with society, the state and the world.
Every writer has to find their own way into writing.
I truly believe that writing is a continuum - so the different genres and forms are simply stops along the same continuum. Different ideas that need to be expressed sometimes require different forms for the ideas to float better. I don't write essays as often as I should.
I'm always aware of writing around things I can't do, and I've come to think that that's actually what 'style' is - an avoidance of your deficiencies.
I have no formal training as a writer at all, not even a single English class in college.
I haven't got a writer's discipline.
I don't like writing essays or theory.
Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way.
Oddly enough, I never studied writing. I studied almost everything except writing.
I'm not sure there are too many people who write what I write.
