Congratulations! You Got …..

Left Brain Writers tend to be:

• Logical
• Sequential
• Rational
• Analytical
• Objective
• Look at parts

You enjoy information given to you in logical sequences, like lists. Left Brained
Writers enjoy typed or printed directions, and doing things with a step by step
process. Left Brained Writers love following plans and having structure in the
form of worsheets.

Left Brained Writers are analytical and logical and pay attention to detail. Your
thinking is logical, analytical, sequencial, linear, mathematical, and factual. You
think in words, enjoy language and remember song lyrics easily and like to do
computations. Left Brained Writers tend to break things down into more
manageable pieces.

When writing, keep in mind that these top 4 concepts make for engaging,
effective, and impactful writing:

1. Clarity – be clear, and also tactful

2. Brevity - most things can be cut by 50%. Short sentences easier to
understand. Play to your linear and sequential tendencies.
3. Simplicity – make your writing easy to understand. No need for big words
or jargon.
4. Humanity – show your human side. This creates connection!

Always keep your voice whatever you’re writing. You always want to sound like
you. Rather than writing differently than you speak, order is important; however,
avoid telling stories like a chronology of events. Describe details using all the
senses. Add examples to illustrate your point rather than just telling the reader
what you want them to know.

Tips to help you with your writing:

Writing uses both sides of your brain because it’s both logiacal and creative.
Knowing your tendencies helps to balance out your writing. There is no wrong or
right, better or worse when it comes to left or right brained writers. Playing up
your strengths is best! Knowing where to fill in gaps will make your writing
unstoppable!
