Audience is something that I do not give too much thought towards. In the past assignment I felt that I wrote in an elementary style. It wasn’t layered with meaning, nor was the language and structure complicated. I wrote in a style of what I imagine to be the wide spread generally educated public. I know that any ones image of and writing to that audience can be problematic, so I guess in a way the main audience I wrote to was my self.
To be honest I really don’t care about the approach of this purpose, context, controlling purpose jumbo. That’s why I guess I would say I was writing to my self. I rarely take a step back and look at my work, and give my self time to reflect. I feel this is one of my largest setbacks, and is exactly what I plan to work on with assignment two. I have no other purpose for the content of special delivery other than to improve my own writing strategies, so I am having a hard time caring for it.
I appreciate the fact that even though you're having a hard time that you are still writing about it. I always in the past have noticed that I never cared much about a purpose as well as an audience. I would always just write about whatever came to mind and I'd put it on paper. That was it no need to think about who was going to read it because frankly I don't think I really cared. However, with the attitude I did have I noticed myself dreading the entire writing process altogether because I didn't understand what I was doing. This class has already helped kind of guide me into thinking before I write. Think about what I'm trying to get across to whoever ends up reading what I'm writing. I like how honest you are though and I hope you continue to do whatever it is you need to and I hope this becomes a little easier for you!
