I want to write more so that I can improve my writing. It's something I enjoy but don't think I'm very good at. It's partly because I probably don't read enough and definitely because I don't write enough. So my goal for the next while is to both read and write more.
I don't have any specific topics I plan to read/write about, but I think it will start off with topics about reading/writing and then be about whatever I care about.
I'm aware of some good practices for better writing, but because I don't practice them enough, I don't actually always apply them naturally and it requires a conscious effort. Well, these blogs will force me to turn that conscious effort into a natural habit.
Some writing flaws I want to work on are:
- Consistent tense
- Using 'I' too much
- Having long sentences
- Repeating myself
- Getting my points across more simply
- Spelling and grammar quirks
