Communication Skills Found Wanting

I read my older posts, and now have a glimpse into what people mean when they say they don't understand me. This blogging exercise is useful, if for no other reason than providing me feed-back on my written communication skills (even if it is from me to myself).

I suppose, a journal may have filled the same purpose; but I rarely ever went back and read my old journal entries. I certainly didn't evaluate them for how well they communicated ideas.

I need to relearn English. Can you believe that it has been over 12 years since I took writing instruction?

I don't know grammar, and I rely on my spell-checker for spelling.

I wonder if there is a good cheap course on writing. I may as well get voice-coaching/public-speaking tuition while I'm at it.

This blog hasn't been getting much use. So I've decided to lower my standards. I am simply going to start whining, griping, and or posting stream of consciousness type posts on the blog.

I frankly don't see what's great about g-mail, I already have more e-mail addresses than I can remember.

But I will try it out, since it is required to maintain this blog.

I am starting this Blog anew. Life hasn't turned out quite like I had hoped.

However, I some how feel a need to vent a lot.

So this blog may contain a lot of ranting and raving, or just a lot of words.
