TimsBlog

Its been 4 years this month since I started this blog. It was an exercise in discipline. I thought not only would it give me a platform to learn how to design a website and maintain it on the server. It also let me brush up on my writing and typing skills. At the time I thought I was going back to school. I figured I needed to practice writing and typing. Four years later my typing is up to about 60 words a minute and my writing has improved. Not that I’m a “writer” by any means. I just notice when I get emails sometimes that some people still write like a 4th grader. I’m not writing award winning shit here, but its at least readable, to the point (most days), and grammatically ok. The main thing it taught or re-taught me was to do drafts and proof read everything. Something I only did in writing classes in the past. I never proof read things I wrote.
