Writing

Right now I’m sitting on my bed amongst a nest of my canine skins, laptop at the ready, trying to get myself prepared to write an essay. Writing used to come so easily to me, but over the past year my skills in this area have rusted. The thought of picking it up again is both exhilirating as well as daunting, and my only hope is that the fruits of my labor will be rewarded with something worth publishing. Its nice to know that I have people who are confident in my writing (probably more confident than I am!) and are willing to offer me advice, encouragement and criticism. Starting today I take the plunge. Here goes nothing. Or everything.

Speaking of writing, I just finished a very interesting essay by Taylor Ellwood. It had me thinking on things that most people really don’t think about when writing, but really should. It even had me stopping for a moment, and thinking back to my past writings, and wondering how I did in fact cite things in my work. Needless to say it was good timing coming across this, something I’ll keep in mind for future reference.
