My writing tends to be distinctly excessive; a few blog posts ago I talked about self identifying with my own sociability and the ecstatic joy that comes from abusing the terminally obese human language, mixing obscure, pompous words with modern day slang to create a collage of linguistic contradictions. My curiosity lies, this time, in how much of this Wodehousian dialect I can use in my academic writing. Removing the ‘I’ from my writing was a challenge, but opened up a lot of doors when it comes to expressing sentences that would’ve had an ‘I then…’ or ‘this led me to…’ but instead require a measured dose of ‘consequently, the musings of _____ crest the horizon above the landscape of ____s writing, framing their ideas within a golden glow of pshychogeographical meandering’. I feel that I found room for lexical fun in my essay, although my time management left much to be desired in making sense of the tangled mess of ideas that I was tying to convey. The language may be interesting, but I fear that the essay itself is shrouded in ambiguity birthed from my (seemingly) genetic disposition to ignore deadlines until T-minus-C, ‘C’ in this equation referring to the minimum number of hours it would take to complete the assignment, and T referring to 3pm on a Thursday; the universal hand-in time for all work.
