I've been described as a good communicator and public speaker on several occasions. I have also felt that I have improved this aspect of my life tremendously as the years have gone by. I also noticed that what used to be a rather...impeccable or "by the rules" writing style...has morphed into a much more "writing what you would speak/recite" style.
For a long time, I felt annoyed at the fact that my mom (who teaches language) would rightfully find more and more problems with the way I wrote. I felt as if I was losing some of my younger qualities (I was always considered a pretty good writer).
Now, though, I have realized that it's exactly as you described: I accidentally started writing as I talk — and that has morphed the writing into this sort of weird stream of consciousness thing with its own rules, ebbs 'n' ibbs. Most people who know me like what I write because they feel as if I'm talking with them via text. My personality is there. And as someone managing both bits and people, personality and the associated gift of energy is perhaps the best thing I can give my team.
I try to counteract this perceived reduction in quality by practicing my other passion: writing poetry :)
