The act of writing for oneself becomes a liberating journey where writers can break free from tradition. Boundless opportunities come with authenticity.

Writing is dynamic. It is both self-fulfillment and the ability to connect with others. 

We are in the era of relatability and authenticity, and writing for yourself will gain more traction than writing overly formal text. When you write for yourself, it is refreshing and conversational. 

Communicating with your audience like you are engaged in a casual conversation is infinitely more entertaining for the reader and also for yourself. Authentic writing mirrors the way people naturally communicate, creating an environment that allows readers to feel like they can relate to you. 

For example: “It is imperative to undertake a comprehensive analysis between casual and formal modes of written expression,” is wordy, has uncommon phrasing, and is harder to read. However, “Writing formal is all about using those fancy words and sticking to the rules, right?” is easier to read due to its conversational tone, simplicity, and use of familiar language.

Readers are more likely to stay engaged with content that feels sincere and personal. You no longer have to succumb to the pressure of sounding traditional, because you are being you. 

Putting thoughts into words can be a journey of exploration and understanding, it can be therapeutic. It is creative and releases writers from the shackles of formality. 

As thoughts find their way onto the page the writer becomes the conductor, who orchestrates a symphony that harmonizes self-expression and desire to create an impact on the reader. 

Writing for an audience is a delicate dance between personal satisfaction and the desire to share our authentic selves with whom we write to. It is a journey of finding your voice, self-discovery, and an art that combines intimacy with structure.
