Personality in Writing

Just as paint and a brush cannot make a masterpiece, it takes someone special, to use a pencil and a piece of paper, to create a story. Whether in a story, script, poem, or letter, a good writer can portray their personality in their written piece, allowing the reader to feel as if they know the author themselves. Personality is a very important role in writing, because not only can the reader feel closer to being a part of the story, but they can also feel closer to the author themselves. If not in the authors head, the reader may feel as if they are having a conversation with them. Just as your personality helps you make friends, I also feel that the relationship between the reader and writer is tightly bonded by similar personalities. Why is a good relationship important in the writing field? Well, as I have found personally and among my peers, readers often read all of their favorite author's written pieces. Therefore, not only does the authors personality, build a better picture throughout their written piece, but also helps build a better relationship and clientele for the author to base their career upon. In my opinion, Stephanie Meyer has become one of the new bestselling authors because of the great use of personality in her writing. When reading her book, Twilight, I not only felt like the author/narrator, but I could relate to the character, and often felt myself captured into the life the character lives. Of course, Stephanie Meyer didn't date a vampire, but by allowing her own personality to live inside the main character, Bella, any young girl could relate to that character and capture the author's immortal imagination, as well.
