How I wish….

Written by Van Santos on November 20th, 2008

I wish I could write with a level of confidence that most “trained” writers appear to have. I truly wish I had a thesaurus packed away in my mind that would allow the perfect word to flow out at the correct moment, creating the illusion that I actually know what the hell I was doing.

Forget my presentation for a moment; the manner in which I write, let’s just look at the very fundamental aspect of being able to write a paragraph without any spelling errors, let alone having the entire paragraph be littered with grammatical road bombs.

I will never be an eloquent write - ever. I will never be a successful writer - ever. My problem, maybe besides the fact that I seem to not remember 7th and 8th grade English, is when I write I tend to do so as if I am talking to YOU (the reader). It’s as if you and I were sitting here in my family room discussing the topics of the day. Basically, I have a conversation in my wee little mind as to how such a conversation would play out and the resulting dialog becomes the post. It becomes the “end work”.

I guess each person has a style, and this is mine, but I really wish I could be an outstanding writer, like some people close to me…I wish it would just rub off.
