Of All Things

While I enjoy the assumption you've made about my "virtue of avoidance" in regards to honing one's writing skills, as well as the assumption that I actually think my blogs/journal entries are "good writing", you really don't know a whole tonne about me. I don't really feel the need to defend myself when it comes to my writing skills (not that I'm professing that this piece of "work" is skillful) - I will re-iterate that it is just a blog. Just a place for me to dump my thoughts. It's not a place for me to express myself as a writer. I do that just fine through my poetry, essays, short stories, etc. and am very confident in those skills, though can always grow just as any writer can. Where did I ever say that I thought my blog was a "thoughtful use of language"? Don't take out your annoyance at try-hards and others who don't like to edit or "hone their craft" on me, as you really have no idea what you're talking about - at least when it comes to me and my ability to see what is good or what isn't. Why can't you just take what I said as a truth: that this is "just a blog". I'm not interested in honing anything. I'm interested in getting my thoughts out as they come to me, as it's a hard time for me right now. Don't assume. It makes you ugly. I don't "avoiding honing my expression of language" in the least. But, then, you really DON'T know me - save for this little blog which is, once again, just a rambling of my thoughts as they make their way out of my brain and onto the computer.
