This is probably obvious to someone that writes a lot but as this (writing) is brand new territory, it’s a new discovery to me.
I wrote a bunch of different blog posts today, none of which were particularly written well and none of which I was satisfied in posting.
My mind is dull. Clear. Empty. Unfocused.
I posted a bit of a downer post yesterday, at least it was a downer for me, but I removed it. I will try not to post about things that are written with negativity. Negativity and hate spread easily and I will not be someone that brings someone else down.
I’ve also discovered that I’ve got at least 4 (somewhat) distinct ways of writing.
One is proper. The case is correct, the sentences are well thought out and formatted. “You” is spelt “You”. I look for synonyms and re-read sentences repeatedly to ensure a concise point.
One is lazy. i don’t cap my i’s. “You” is spelt “u”.
One is my thoughts, in almost pure form. I convey a pause in my thoughts with a “…” and I don’t go back and erase them. This is written on the fly. I notice that my blog lacks this type of writing but it’s very apparent in my IMs (instant messages) and twitter.
And the last one is the old me with a writing style of “well, i go back to skool in….2 days !! 2 !!!!!! ahhhhhh !!!!!” – taken directly from me on Jan 4, 2003. It’s funny how some of the style from 7 years ago is the same, but just…unrefined. I sure did love my exclamation marks back then. I must be getting old, no longer having the same enthusiasm as I did when I was younger.
Okay. I’m satisfied with this post. I sleep satisfied with today’s accomplishments and I will wake up and face tomorrow’s challenges.
