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! Right-Brain Mode: Global, Perceptual Left-Brain Mode: Linear, Sequential* Nonverbal: Using nonverbal cognition to process perceptions. Verbal: Using words to name, describe, define.

Synthetic: Putting things together to form wholes.

Analytic: Figuring things out step-by-step and part- by-part.

Nontemporal: Ignoring time and chronology.

Temporal: Keeping track of time, sequencing one thing after another.

Nonrational: Not requiring a basis of reason or facts; willingness to suspend judgment.

Rational: Drawing conclusions based on reason and facts.

Intuitive: Making leaps of insight, often based on incomplete patterns, hunches, feelings, or visual images.

Logical: Drawing conclusions based on logic, one thing following another in an order: for example, a mathematical theorem or a well-stated argument.

Holistic: Seeing whole things all at once, perceiving the overall patterns and structures, often leading to divergent conclusions.

Linear: Thinking in terms of linked ideas; one thought directly following another, often leading to a convergent conclusion.
