Reading my archives is always a refreshing experience.
It is strange, most of the time. I read back what I've written over time and sometimes it just doesn't feel like me. Sometimes I feel like I am reading the written work of a stranger. There are times where I purposely omit essential details in my writing in order to not let others know what I'm talking about exactly, but when I read back I'll almost always remember what it was that I was leaving out. Talk about reading between the lines.
What is my writing style, exactly? How do you define a writer's style of writing? I would love to know. And I would love to be able to establish an identity as a writer. Yet I feel that as people change over time, their writing style change a little bit too. Part of why I love to write is because trying to discover my style of writing is part of like searching for my identity as a person as well.
When I read what I've written from a long time ago, it may seem a little bit unfamiliar, but at least I am consistently aware that the author of the articles I am reading is the same - me.
Here is an interesting question, which is from 太陽と海の教室 (Taiyo to Umi no Kyooshitsu, Homeroom on the Beachside) if I don't recall wrongly:
"With no names, no academic background or job, no gender or nationality, who are you?"
Now that is one thing I would love to find out about myself.
I think this is one of the best dramas I've ever watched. So thought-provoking.
Sarah Dessen has been included into my list of favourite writers recently. I love her writing style, I aspire to write like that. I think it's possible, but I would have to try really hard. I don't want to completely emulate her writing style, as much as I like it. I hope to remain some originality and display my own style as well. That is, if I can even find out what my style is.
