Reading Vonnegut’s chapter I totally agree that his style of writing is a “band saw cutting galvanized steel. I don’t know it just didn’t sit well with me. I think I might have already talked about this in my last blog… one of the  cons of reading ahead. Sorry. I think it was because for number 7 we had to talk about audiences and then this one talks about voice and to which audience. Ah well. Anywho, yes, my style does change depending on my audience. For an academic paper I try to write in a  more professional tone and vise versa I write with a more conversational feel in my blogs and email and such. Is this wrong, no, I don’t think so. Which one of my friends of peers wants me to speak to them with formality? I know the thought certainly puts me off. I’m not sure whether we’re supposed to touch on the second reading we had but I think I will. Writers block…. Yes this is what I have on many occassion. Like today I was writing on my first rough draft and it occurred. I sat there thinking, okay what the crap am I supposed to write about again? I felt as if nothing would come, and well I’m still waiting actually but writers block looks to me in my head as a person slamming their head in to desk perhaps repeatedly but really it’s the most frustrating feeling ever. Really, it is. Nothing is going in or out when I have writers block however this all might be due to my supreme power of procrastination. Indeed I do posses this inhibiting attribute. Well the way I get over writers block is to just start writing, even if it’s jibberish or just plain ol’ nonsense, if just start writing it helps get me over the “hill” yet as can be expected it makes for a really bad first draft. This does not upset me though because at least I’ve begun and opposed my untimely and ultimate friend procrastination.

So I don’t know if any of this makes sense. This is probably the equivalent of a first draft. =] Okay ttyl,
