Time to start writing again

Well, I'm told that if you want to get better at writing, you should probably do more of it. So whether or not anyone reads these things, I think I'll try to make an effort to post something more often (notice I didn't say every day!).

One of the things I have noticed about my writing skills as of late, is that I have gotten sloppy. I find after reading old emails, twitter posts, and even facebook posts, that I often get ahead of myself and skip words. I guess I just can't type as fast as I think and I push on to complete my thought without proof reading my work. So with that in mind, I encourage you - my loyal reader(s) to be strict with your criticism and point out my mistakes. In this way I hope my writing skills improve at a much faster rate. Be nice but be picky. It's through critique that we learn and get better.

Now having said all of this, I do wish to point out that I have never majored in English. I have not taken any literary classes and I have not attended any writing classes after leaving high school. What you see is what you get as far as writing style and composition goes. I've never been published, although thoughts of writing a book have tickled my imagination. As a profound Twitter Philosopher once said

"YOU, a published writer?..Internet don't count. Any asshole can throw shit up on there." - @Shitmydadsays

So with that understanding, this blog doesn't count. ;o)

As you sit there reading this you're probably thinking to yourself

"Why am I reading this? I haven't learned anything new, he hasn't entertained me in anyway, and there's no hook to draw me back in the future!"

Well, all I can offer you is the opportunity to comment and ridicule me. If enough people leave comments then hopefully that will provide you with some entertainment value! Or not. Really, I'm just using this as an exercise to practice my writing. If you stick around, I'm sure I can find something for you to enjoy.

Thanks!
