	2009.07.09  13.48 My Writing Style is Extremely Chaotic I have spent much of today coaching a first-time adventurer in the dark and musty realm that is Five Paragraph Essay Structure. It is a faraway land peopled chiefly by various tribes of Supporting Statements. These intrepid souls make their homes in thriving colonies of Paragraph Structure subsisting mostly on a robust diet of Constant Rephrasing and the odd feast of Metaphor or Wit, whenever available. They are a happy people and generally live in peaceful harmony with their neighbors and sister tribes: the Actual Ideas. The Actual Ideas tend to live in smaller, more rigidly defined groups. They are usually good natured and pleasant to be around but can be horribly standoffish and will, at times, disappear from a paper entirely. These modern-day pilgrims set off for different, farther-away lands, such as Typical Thesis Structure. Once there, they hope to find new, more austere neighbors, who think just as they do and don't get wrapped up in such flowery theatrics as Metaphor or Wit. Terrible fighting will sometimes break out between the two clans but such events are usually swiftly resolved by whatever elected officials happen to be in charge of the burgeoning masterpiece. These are often such stalwart and time honored rulers as Grammar, Punctuation, Spelling, Reason, and, occasionally, even Good Taste. Sad is the all too frequent occasion when a paper still in the midst of a bloody civil war finds itself cruelly and unexpectedly published. From time to time it may become clear that a paper is Not Properly Governed. Such papers are usually quite easy to spot. When a sentence starts with a Simple Statement, drops with a sudden twist into a String of Metaphors, brings up a Complex Statement which immediately does a double back flip pausing only to callously throttle aforementioned Simple Statement before finally devolving into Primitive Speculations on such topics as the existence of life on Mars or the best time to plant a lettuce, it is probably time to encourage elections. This may also be a call for the writer to seriously reconsider that nice career as a Tollbooth Operator or even the idea of sending something for publication to the BBC, whichever option seems to be the least demeaning at the time. In reflecting on this ostensibly simple and straightforward task of guiding another through these dark environs, I have ultimately been struck with an epiphany of sorts: My Writing Style is Extremely Chaotic. I tend to spend my worth as a writer bouncing from one sort of Statement to another, exploring Extended Metaphors, and pursuing Rules of Three wherever possible. I let my colonies of Paragraph Structure flourish only so long as they interest me. When I am properly pleased I am generous and allow them to grow fat with Metaphor and Wit. It has, in the past, gone so far that entire enclaves of Actual Ideas have had to go into hiding, masquerading as, and assuming the mannerisms of, common Supporting Statements, transient Offhand Comments, or even the Constant Rephrasings that graze in the fields. If caught they know they will be subjected to all sorts of humiliation, so it's usually considered better just to lay low and eat some hay now and again. ©July 2nd 2009 – Techno Something
