Personal Style Inventory

According to the Personal Style Inventory, I'm an INFJ.

INFJ's like to build theoretical models that relate to people and serve humanitarian goals; their writing often reflects this inclination. Their iNtuitive/Feeling preferences give them clear visions of how the world will benefit; the Judging preference ensures their confidence in their version of the future. As a result, they may feel frustrated when others do not share their vision. Their dominant iNtuitive preference often leads them to think about the next project before finishing the current one. INFJ's really believe in what they write and tend to feel connected to their writing long after it’s published.



STRENGTHS
-Original thinkers who can personalize abstract theories.
-Think through ideas clearly before writing them.
-Tend to include personal values in writing to ensure clarity.
-Persevering.


CHALLENGES
-May be reluctant to share their best ideas—keep ideas to themselves.
-Can become blocked by trying to make everything too original.
-Writing may be too formal or academic in tone for business audiences.
-Should let go before alienating the audience.

Sounds like me, what do you think?

S.h.o.p.p.i.n.g

I realised today that I am such a stereotypical girl when it comes to shopping, and that you must be very prepared or extremely nutty to go shopping with me.
(So thank you Tegan, Katie & Mel for braving the storm.. ha!)
But I don't understand it, what is it about shopping that makes a girl go crazy and spend money that she doesn't have as soon as she walks into a shopping centre?
If anyone knows, feel free to tell me please, it may save A LOT of money.
My theory is it makes you feel good when you go shopping and buy things that you don't necessarily need, well actually, that you don't need at all, but seem to be so important to have at the time (like the $15 jumper that I bought today, purely because of the fact I was thrilled it was only $15).
If only I was as dedicated to doing homework and study as I am to shopping.. hmm could solve many problems.
Hope everyone is still enjoying PWE!

'Finish what you're doing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it.'

Neil Gaiman says "Finish what you're writing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it."
It's an incredible quote when you think about it. If you replace the word 'writing', you can adapt the quote to apply to anything.
Even replacing the word with 'doing' creates a very motivational sentence.
-Finish what you're doing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it.
As I sat at my laptop the other night attempting to write my novel and coming across some severe writers block (Well, I actually hadn't started..), I took to googling for inspiration. (And by google I mean the internet, and by internet I mean facebook and twitter)
I then came across Neil Gaiman's quote.
A little flicker of hope raged in my stomach, and so I poured my fourth cup of coffee for the night, and finally came up with three different options for a prologue and an in depth charcter analysis.
Presto, that nights work done.
It's funny to think that one sentence, a meshing of words was enough to unblock whatever was going on in my head, and allow the creativeness to flow.
But it did, and there is no way I'm going to question it.
This quote I now have displayed in my bedroom, for me to look at whenever the work is getting to me, whenever I think I'm never going to get through all of it.


Hope PWE is treating all you PWE guys well!

The first of many..

I said I'd do it, so eventually after a good swift kick to get me going (Thank you computer skills!) I'm finally blogging.
Why blog?
Basically to get my writing out on the internet, in the hopes of some amazing person stumbling across my pointless babble and thinking "wow, she can write." (Well, we can dream hey?)
Although HOW to get people to read the blog is another thing all together- cue computer skills next week!
So what will my blogs be about?
Who knows.
I can get incredibly passionate about something and ramble for hours, but if something doesn't interest me - cue morgan to daydream. (Did I just refer to myself in third person?.. yuk)
I moved out of home this year to got to Uni, and I LOVE the freedom, along with my course. I should probably mention that, I'm utterly in love with my course (Professional Writing and Editing/ Bach. of Arts at the University of Ballarat).. if it's even possible to be in love with uni?
I'm also enjoying the challenges and the new learning curves that have been thrown my way this year!
Until next time my friends,
remember to smile :)
