RE: Learning to Write Without Overthinking
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
It is so easy to find unauthentic, non LLM content, too. It is easy to spot. You can find passion in the way something is written, or it can be boring as bat shit and formulaic.
One of the people who would edit some technical writing I did in my old job got me the greatest secret santa present, it was "PLAIN ENGLISH". I laughed and laughed and laughed, but it did definitely help me with clarifying intent in professional writing.
I write for me on HIVE, and if people happen to like it, that's awesome, and I'm grateful. For my own writing, I prefer for it to be flowery, poetic, and evocative. I'm not good at plain English, a lot of the time.
I sometimes fear I alienate people with my own diverse interests, but I have come to the conclusion today, in a discord chat that I am a part of, that I come to enjoy seeing all the sides of a person. If they post the one thing consistently, I am finding myself start to grow tired of the content, so I appreciate that people can share their whole-self because all of it is valuable and interesting.
