Exercise: Writing Style Reflection

Taking into consideration the “Writing Style” chapter 11 you just read, reflect on the reading and your own experience with professional writing. Please submit your response to the following:

1. What is the most useful thing you learned in the “Writing Style” chapter and how will you use it in your own writing?
2. What does the word “concision” mean to you and why is it so important in professional writing? Do you have a strategy (or are you developing one) for ensuring that your own writing is concise?
3. Consider your own writing style in professional correspondence (i.e., emails for school or work, or other professional writing tasks you do on the job). How would you characterize your style. Considering what you have learned, do you think it is appropriate. How could your style be improved?
