Let’s see. I’m an amateur writer. Therefore, I will tend to make many errors throughout my blogs. But fear not! I will improve as I continue to express myself through writing, though at times my thoughts are much faster than my wee fingers!
“We cannot even reproduce our thoughts entirely in words.” ~Friedrich Nietzsche.
Perhaps, a nice English tutor will give me homework assignments to complete and then he/she/it will critique my work and provide necessary guidance to proper flow in sentences and such-like. If I do ever have the patience and will power, I may revisit ALL my blog entries and correct not only spelling, syntax and grammar but for “Timestamps” to be reset in my “local time”, which is “Los Angeles”.

How about you? Do you ever catch yourself padding your writing with filler words? Do you find that you do so more frequently when you’re trying to sound formal (or is this theory of mine nonsense?)? As an exercise, consider revisiting an old post and seeing if there are words you could omit without altering the meaning or mood of the post.
