Writing as a Woman

Looking back on what the articles said about women’s writing this week, I would have to say that in my case they are correct. I definitely base my writing off of relationships in my life, and if you’ve been keeping up with my blog posts, you would probably agree. Maybe that makes me generic or fit in a box but honestly I think that my relationships have been the place where I learn the most. Looking at my gender, I think that while men probably can tap into their emotional side if they wanted to, women tend to do it more often. I don’t know the science behind it or the reasoning but from my experience with boys, they do not like expressing emotions. When I write, I don’t like to think, I just write what I’m feeling. So far, it's gone pretty well for me. For my blog posts, my emotional connection to my faith has allowed me to learn something about myself or God each week and I base my post around that. For my paper’s, I try to see how I could use emotion or a personal connection to enhance the paper. Overall, I enjoy writing with my emotions. It may make it seem mushy or sentimental but heck with it, that’s how I write.
