Reflections on Style Academy

            It’s amazing, as one begins to write, how realization comes to them that what they are writing, or have already written, is not exactly how they wanted it. So, they erase away and try to imagine a better way to scrawl down their thoughts in order to produce the masterpiece that they truly want to author. I often find that reviewing the many arts of writing which have been drawn by others can greatly improve my own writing and ability to transmit that perfect message.

            Unfortunately, the perfect way to share a message is hard to find and often involves a lot of work. By studying writing techniques, much like the ones that style academy offers, we can receive valuable input that will allow us to draw ever closer to that perfect way to transmit our message. Style academy also provides great exercises that will increase the spectrum of writing techniques that their students will have. Anyone who is interested in writing for any reason can see the worth of developing new and better techniques for their writing career.

            Style academy is set up in a way that even younger students have the opportunity to explore its wonderful world of writing and rhetoric. Its teachings are organized primarily into three categories where each one focuses on techniques for different levels of writing. These categories are: Cover the Basics, Craft with Purpose, and Be a Rhetorical Ninja. Cover the Basics section focuses on exactly what its name implies, that is the basics of writing. Craft with Purpose is focused on helping develop a writer’s ability to see the many options they have in crafting a written piece of work. Be a Rhetorical Ninja focuses on even more options for writing and using techniques that only the most seasoned of writers are familiar with. If one were to go through each category, and practice the exercises involved in each, he or she will find themselves ready to write a paper like a rhetorical ninja.
