What Mike Bunn means by the phrase, “You are already an author.” is that we are all writers at some capacity, big or small.Ā I already write in terms of sending emails and responses to professors and my superiors at work. I write all the time texting my friends on different social media services.Ā In these two separate instances I write professionally to school people and job people, and then much more casually to my friends.Ā This skill allows me to prioritize how to talk to which people in order to get the most out of everything that I am writing to them.Ā Writing formally to a superior with good vocabulary will net me more points with them and they will look upon me better then employees who do not. It will show my level of verbal skill and be equated to that of an actual educated person who in turn will be more valuable to the job and more likely to be invested in for promotions in the future.
In my writing, I would like to be descriptive in my approach to how I present information.Ā Specifically, just like Bunn, I wish to describe in great detail the settings of places, just like he did with the old movie theater and how he was describing very particular things about it like the place it was located, who owned it, and what it was like inside.Ā I want to convey a true sense of imagery in my writing so that people know exactly what I am talking about.Ā In order to do that, I will most definitely have to spend a few sentences just writing about the details of a place I am talking about, an object I am looking at or handling, an action that is taking place, etc. Depending on certain things it may or may not be appropriate of necessary to be constantly describing things lest it becomes repetitive and an overused feature, but it makes things more meaningful in the long run.
