A little bit of everything, colored my own way. |
THE PROMPT: "Write about the area of your writing you would most like to improve." What's up? Happy new year, friends! Let's get the year started off on a good foot (pun intended), shall we? I love me a prompt about the written word, even if most of you who know me know I don't particularily care to talk much about my own writing. Now, what about my writing would I improve? Nothing. It is what it is, was, and will be. I've found a voice, and I'll continue to listen to it, even when it encourages me to do stupid things. That voice...it's beyond improvement. Nothing's gonna save it. There's that old saying about putting lipstick on a pig...yeah, that's where I'm going with this. Spelling? I'm at the mercy of spellchecking functions on WDC and my Blackberry. Besides, I'm a pretty decent speller anyway. Grammar? Oh boy do I love grammar. My boy G-Stamm once dubbed me "Grammar Jedi". I take it seriously, and I seriously love to bastardize the language. I see no need for improvement there. I suppose I could use some improvement in my delivery, or my material. But that would require living more of an outrageous life than I already lead. And I don't know if my body, at 37, can sustain much more outrageousness. I think I've done ten years' worth of living in the last six months. All I can do in terms of improvement is hope. I'd like a keyboard bigger than three inches wide by two inches high to type with, and a wi-fi signal that doesn't just work when it wants to. Typing a blog entry on a phone can really try one's patience, and lord knows I didn't get any patience for Christmas this year. MUSICAL BREAK!! Ahhh, my annual "this year will be better than the last" tribute... VITAL STATS: I'm gonna save this for the next entry. I'm catching up on my "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" entries, attempting to bang out two in a day. So hold tight... |
