| | Ethos |
 | | In short, the writer who has a good ethos is aware of himself and the image he gives off, is self critical when she needs to be, and is always aware and (except for extreme cases) is respectful of opposing viewpoints. |
 | | Since an ethos of some sort is always present in written (and spoken) work, writers are well advised to show they have good sense, good will, and good character. |
 | | As far as ethos goes, the best advice for writers is that they be themselves and work toward realizing their "voices" through practice, reading, careful drafting, and feedback from others. |
