| Answer:
I am always tempted to say, "Why don't you learn to introspect, look at yourself, what are you doing? You are reading this! Therefore I have learned to write. A person that knows how to write is read by other people." I have learned a lot about writing, what it means to have a voice, a style, and way with words. However I admit I am not a good editor of my work, my belief is my mind works so fast, that it is almost incapable of going slow enough to see the problems, the words are abstract in my brain, and not letters or words. I cannot think on that slow of level. Communication is my goal, I work to choose the exact phrase or combination of words, sometime I am positive the sentence is constructed wrong, however it does say what I wish to say. Plus a trickle of annoying sentence forces a person out of their mental constraints, and helps them think outside the box. Writing to me is an attempt to illicit emotions, unfortunately I am classified or thought of as a travel write, therefore people are accustomed and programmed to read flowery, nice, wonderful prose about a place, because in reality, 90 percent of travel writers are paid to make a place look good to sell tours, they are paid to write lies for money. Therefore when you read my travel writing you are annoyed, it is nothing like what you like to read. Please go read the lies if you do not like my writing, this is the amazing and wonderful parts of writing to read the comments and to understand that sometime a simple click of the mouse would have led the person away, but maybe the world world rather argue. My best teacher is the Grammar checker of Microsoft Works, I learn a lot about the rules of grammar, now if the would implement the same system into the Frontpage program, I would be able to implement in web pages better. Ergo, you are reading, Ergo I am a writer, or a hack... Do not take yourself too serious, life is short. |
