Use Informal Writing When:
  • Writing to a friend;
  • Sharing a story or writing a personal blog;
  • Writing creatively;
  • Instructed to do so (if in school);
  • Writing dialogue and conversations;
  • If you are unsure of whether to use informal or formal writing, it’s generally the rule of thumb to start out writing formally. Then, when you make the connection and you see how the other side responds, you can ease up on the formality.
