In, “Writing Is Not Natural” by Dylan B. Dryer, he focuses on the main conception that writing is more of a technology than it is something that comes normal to people. Dryer goes into depth that since people judge their own writing so much and think about it in great depth, it isn’t something that is as easy or comes as smoothly as a conversation would. In writing, people aren’t able to express direct emotion or portray to readers exactly how they feel as they would be able to do in everyday speech.
I chose this GIF because it shows how complicated writing can be and just how much people overthink it to change the way they sound. People think this intensely about what they wrote so that it doesn’t give the impression that they are being as casual as they would be in a normal speech setting.
