on writing

September 24, 2017   

I’ve always found writing difficult. When I read over my entries I’ve made so far I cringe a little. Writing well is definately a skill that takes time to hone. Its simple to just type things but to actually communicate is rather challenging.

Most blogs I’ve read have this meta “on-writing” article where the author indicates that expository writing hard. I agree. I find writing extra difficult as I’m a terrible speller. So far I’ve been typing these articles with VI. This is probably a bad choice from a productivity stand point - no automated spelling and grammer check. But I believe doing some writing without these modern crutches will help me improve in these skills some.

I’ve heard that writing is like any skill and the more you do it. The more you will improve. I hope that is the case because I have a lot of improving I need to do.
