What are the physical characteristics that mark a certain work genuinely, uniquely, originally YOURS?:cool:

For me, it is my frequent usage of lengthy paragraphs and wordy sentences that distinguish my works from others perhaps. Other than that, no distinguishable characteristic is constant in marking my works, except that wen it comes to formal writing, I cannot stand paragraphs without indentions, I do not like simple words and the most distinguishable feature in my writings is the long dash. I also like making use of narratives in constructing write-ups.;)

hehe, my sentences tend to be rather long, too. my brain seems to function according to the principle "if a noun takes a definite article (the) it needs a postmodification (e.g. , which... or of...).
it confuses me when someone writes something like "The analyses demonstrate that...".. makes me go "what analyses is the guy talking about" even when it's totally clear he's referring to the ones he's been writing about for the last 20 pages :)

Messy handwriting :p

Well, I use a lot of descriptive language, maybe a few too many run-on sentences.

so do i. I often have to edit my works more than once in order to achieve perfection in my writing... that is, when I'm in my not so good writing mood in that there is something constraining my thoughts. ;) Otherwise if I'm in a spontaneous writing mood I can run off with my first draft.

Unreadable handwriting, mention of random things, descriptive nouns. descriptions of bishonen, overcrowding with bishonen. Bishonen!

I have a question, hope this won't offend you (normally I don't intend to offend anyone by the things I ask except that I have a tendency to become an impulsive asker sometimes) are you Japanese, or do you simply possess an undying love for everything in Japan? Several people I know do.

I'm cuban-irish-romani. But I love Japanese things and language and such.

I don't mind being asked, I'm quite impulsive too.

Wow. Fil-Chi-Arab-Span-Ital-Mex. Those are the eminent ingredients I know of in the mixture of my blood. ;)

I'm too mixed. It's like some strange Bakiryu soup. I wonder if there is anyone who's just one thing except of all these? Oh well.

Short and sweet is my style. I'm generally telling a story, and I prefer to do it in as few words as possible. I've little focus on setting/environment beyond what is necessary for comprehension. My short, to the point, sentences are a sure way to know my writing. I think it comes from too many lab papers where it isn't good to write in a more flowery way:)

Rofl, flowery lab papers! You should do one, Meg, just for fun.

A chess-playing friend of mine is now writing articles or essays about the chess players, tournaments, and their feelings, thoughts and actions during the tournaments and games. Like Fischer and his different opponents; for instance Mikhail Tal, Fischer lost to until he was 18, but after that he never lost against Tal.

i do write flowery lab reports. none of my teachers, except for the tadpole-ish assistant principal I had for general science in my past school, really disapproved of it.
