There were not very many passages that caught my eye or that I would agree with. The one that I did have some interest in was “Rules, in other words, can seem to make life and writing situations easier to navigate”. I would say this because rules make constraints. When you have rules you are not free to roam and think broadly. You have to think along simply lines so they your writing will be easy to navigate. I do agree rules make easier to navigate but it doesn’t allow them to be creative. Rules make your writing seem formatted and no different from other people. I can guarantee that many resumes will follow the similar format and so will cover letters. There is no variation to make you stand out. What makes you mostly stand out on a resume is your information not how you format it because many people format them the same. I strongly believe that rules make you lack creativity.
I also think that constraints keep us from being creative! Great post!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you and Michelle that rules limit creativity. They are helpful but should be regarded as strictly suggestions.
