First off, a picture of an otter. A significant otter.
Okay, I decided to start writing a blog so that I can become a better writer. Not necessarily in the professional sense mind you, just overall. It's funny, but writing as I do in my daily life I often find that I sound like a giant retard. Sorry, that's politically incorrect. I should say I sound like a 'tard. There, now all the retards in the world will feel better. Anyway I find that when I write emails to coworkers I have to read and reread what I've written to see if I'm making any sense. Usually I'm not. So then I try to expand on what I've written and my emails become giant walls of text. Your coworkers shouldn't feel the urge to respond "TLDR" to your emails.
My second problem is a complete lack of creativity. I'm hoping that what I've heard is true; flexing your creative muscles can help improve that...or something. As it is right now I can barely think of anything to write about much less think of something interesting.
My only hope is that I haven't always been this way. As a teenager I used to write short stories. And when I had to write an essay for school I could always punch one out without hours of staring at a blank page wondering what I wanted to say. Granted, they weren't fucking works of art, but they got the job done. And it sure as hell didn't feel like I was mentally constipated.
So here I am making a promise to myself that I'll write regularly (weekly?) and hopefully my writing will improve. As far as the creativity part goes, I'm hoping to actually come up with witty and or interesting things to write. Maybe I'll throw in pictures of dogs or naked ladies. Or naked dogs. Then people will be interested in my blog. No pressure here. I just don't want to sound like a giant 'tard. With the exception of this first post that is. I'm allowed to be unfunny and sound like I haven't written anything in 25 years in my first post. Don't judge me! Seriously, don't. This is hard.
