Let's TALK

Today, in our English class, the teacher breifly mentioned about tone, diction and mood. As a writer wannabe, I was deeply awed by how authors have different, individual, unique tones. Tones are attitude toward subject, audience and characters. Tones are created by diction, or the writiers choice of words. So, my choice of words huh..... As for me, I dont really think I have a distinct tone, which is very depressing. For my two closest friends, they have distinct tones and I love them. One is a mix of sarcasm and casual, another is playful and sincere. I love them! However, I am in the middle. I don't have a distinct tone. Is it because I'm not paying close attention to the subject? No, that's not it. I pay very close attention to my subject. I pay very close attention to the character, which is me. However, I dont really "TALK" to the audienes. Oh no. Does that mean I am a self centered person? I sure do hope not. However, this is a blog, I can not discuss what to post with a 100 other people. I really dont know where this is going. So, should I refer more to the audiences? Should I ask more rhetorical questions? (By the way, I am asking one right now.) I should talk more. By talk I mean "talk" to the audience.
