Good and Bad Writing
People actually have made distinctions between the activity. Of course, theres the logical reason for the labelization, there would always be cases where a piece of work can be graded to be pooer versus another piece, but then, to grade and comment, one needs standard. And the standard that is defined by writing, is always the assumed usual. Primarily, grammar, sentance structure and the englishtic crap that needs to be followed; Secondarily, storyline, plot, content and the other bits that give the writing taste. In some cases, opinion is graded as well, as much as its not really something that is distinguishbly black or white (unless of course, one is dealing with truth or statistics) but all who get sieved under the hands of any education system should be able to see such. The probability of regularity depends and varies of course.
Besides the styles that tell you how to write 'better' in the ways mentioned in the primary and secondary scope, above, a 'good' writer is also defined by how clear they are in their writing. How lucid they are in the flow, how capable they are in engaging the reader, how suitable the piece is for the average auidience depending on the desired/expected group. (When Jargon and technical terms are invovled...) I, don't think I'll do that well in this category, when one uses my blog as the examplartory test victim. Well, maybe I will, I'm not that certain actually... I take for granted that my readers have a wealth of knowledge to tap onto while they enter, and I have (rather valid) assumptions of pior pools of intellegences that they posses - not only knowledge, but also opinion, experience, attitudes and the usual cove of human's properties. I suppose that they know my implicits even if I'm at the extent of being too vague. And seriously, even if they, (for some reason) don't get my message, It doesn't matter. I've done the piece. I've expressed myself. It has been done, nothing else needs to be said.
Which then, through a bit of wholesome exaggeration, begs the ponderment: Why do you write the crap when the audience doesn't get you in the first place? This would probaly root from the basic mentality that writing is meant to be a piece of communication. Well, it is. Its one of the excellent devices in the world to translate thought and to convey your intentions, although sometimes, it fails in its duty (of course that depends on your standard of expression in the relative field of askance in the first place). This case scenario, works only if my works are really
that difficult to understand because its so vauge. And, I personally don't think that they are, (well... who am I to judge. Oh wells.) its only at some points I don't explain myself... but most of the time, the whole concept is explained at the basic level and theres slight hints and leeways for the readers to walk from the elemantaries to the depths or the sidetracks, by themselves. The subtle vagnesss, would then, not be a malady to the writing, but rather a boon to it. And in cases, when I just don't make myself clear: Well, this
is a blog, isn't it?
And you should get what I mean.
I wouldn't want to go into the arguements of Good and Bad writing... there are several view points of it, many statements to it and etc. But it can be figured out.
And besides, its late.
"Tell me."
"No."
"Why?"
"
Because."
