Collaborative Writing on Writing

What is writing?
Definition:
A form of communicative media expressed through pre-ordained written symbols


How it’s used:
creative expression, documentation, instruction, ideas, personal journals, etc.


How does one’s persona (tone, level of formality, etc.) shift depending on your audience?
  • Translate your idea into a format your audience can relate to in order to communicate effectively.


  • Overall intent of the communication influences persona


  • Level of respect or comfortability with the audience can alter tone/level of formality
Why?


In order to best express your message, a writer has to take into account the perceptions and interests of their audience as well as their personal vendetta regarding the outcome of their own expression. This is achieved through literary persona and tone.
