How much does your written voice differ from your spoken voice? What does it mean if it does? I can't help writing like a 19th century philosopher 75% of the time, but I talk more like, just, the Dude, man.

I think people would be shocked because when I communicate online it's way more thought out and I use words I wouldn't when speaking, in person I talk just like typical people around my area and probably sound pretty dense.

That's a good question. When I've been reading a lot of old-timey books for a long time, I unintentionally write the simplest stuff in the most formal, elaborate way. I haven't been reading for a while so now I write more chill. But yeah, sometimes it's embarrassing, I reread what I wrote and it's way too complex and formal for quite simple situations.

It's kind of like a character, or a game for me at this point. It's just too bad I'm the only player.

>Can get people in hyponisis with my words
>Disappointed when they read my writing
>"You just need to write like how you talk anon"

Granted, my grammar is rather poor........

If that post is suppsoed to show how you communicate more clearly online and "use words you wouldn't use when speaking" you must talk like adowns kid in elementary school irl.
>>
make style a concern, forget self.

I'm making a conscious effort to make my writing more concise and less flowery. I'm tired of writing like a pretentious schoolboy trying to prove how smart he is. I certainly don't speak like one, even if I am one.

>>9573471

im like that as well. it's fine. the whole idea behind writing books is so you can take the time to find the language for your thoughts rather than succumbing to and spitting out whatever stupid bullshit your reflexive sublimations of popular rhetoric cook up on the spot.
