Style

It happens to me occasionally to ask myself: do I have a personal style in writing?

The obvious answer is, "well everyone has their unique style in writing..." but that really isn't what I mean. Of course everyone has their unique style, but just how distinguished is that style? How much does it glow among the millions and millions of these "unique" styles?

It's as if some of these unique styles have a far higher affinity to be liked (or disliked!) by people. This is what i call the distinctiveness. Something truly different from the most. Something that "touches hearts". Something that makes it remarkable. Beauty, in a sense.

Can I judge my own distinctiveness? Hard to say. The reason why I appreciate praise and criticism.

One could probably even say that the brilliance of a writer is the same as the distinctiveness of their style. It's themselves which they reflect in their writings, and how much they manage to distinguish themselves in the written world is how much they are distinguished as a writer.

So, just how distinguish am I? Time will tell.
