Bad Glacier

So why did I decide to start blogging? There are the usual reasons—fame, power, groupies, and plain old exhibitionism—but the main reason is that I want to improve my writing.

I’ve always had trouble translating my thoughts into words. I write slowly, revising paragraphs over and over. I want to get to the point where I can come up with an idea, fire off a quick post, and go back to whatever I was doing. To me, a blog seems like the best place to improve this aspect of my writing because of the nature of the posts: short, mostly self-contained, with a wide range of styles and topics.

So anyways, there you go. I started blogging to improve my writing. The groupies had nothing to do with it, I promise.
