I come from an academic background. Writing has always been an easy thing to me, but almost all of my practice outside of poetry has been in academic writing. I'll find myself writing in the way that I think, with all of the hedges for the sake of completeness, and realize that what I've written would be very understandable, but would not give you the impression that I'm talking _to you_. Perhaps I'm giving myself a harder time than I need to, but I feel that it is a worthy rebuke of my writing. Edit: I write philosophical non-fiction papers on all sorts of things like religion, culture, politics, etc.
