It is about writing better. Hence, I edited this goal.
I am going to check out Spunk and Bite which I took out of the library. I want everything I write to have a definite style, like Joan Didion or W.G. Sebald. Lofty models, to be sure. I want a personal signature to everything I print or put down on paper, and not make it look too hard that I am trying.

I don’t want to lose my style but I could really use help with my grammar and thought process. Plus i think it will help me think outside the box.

I really like the written word because it’s probably the best connection to someone’s exact ideas, experiences, and emotions. That’s why I love reading, and I would like to be able to write as well as the things I read. My writing honestly was at it’s best around the ages of 15-17 when I was more confident. I just want to get into writing again like how I was at that age where I didn’t judge myself so much about it.

But nevertheless, I wrote today, after not having done so in a while. So I’m happy.

I am a Communication major with a minor in business and eventually I would like to pursue a career in corporate communications or PR work. One of the most important things I have learned is that in ANY career field communication and writing skills are crucial!!!!!
Right now I am taking a writing class and have plans to take a few more next semester. This summer I interned at Hospice of the Valley in Arizona, as an intern I worked in the communication/pr/marketing department. The experience taught me so many things….among them that I have a long way to go and a lot of work to do to improve my writing.
So I plan on doing on doing this by:
1. Reading!!! Reading EVERYTHING I can get my hands on!
2. Taking extra writing classes
3. Applying for Internships
4. Reading additional material that will teach me various writing techniques.
5. Maybe, Maybe start a blog so I can get more practice
If anyone has an ideas/tips/recommendation/advice…I welcome it!

Because I do not give it quality time, but rather, the trimmings of the day.
I need to give my creative endeavours a solid chunk of quality time—namely, having a routine for them.

I want to do more creative writing, but I have been writing on here and doing some journaling. At least that is something.
I do want to not lose sight of my vijournal. I want to work on that more, and make my entries to 43 things a bit briefer, except if I have something long and worthwhile to share.
