I Like Writing

I was at lunch the other day and someone started talking about the importance of writing.  We were discussing college classes and how even computer people have to take English classes and do lots of writing.  Bet you didn't know that engineers are expected to be writers, did you?  Anyway, it got me thinking about my own writing and all the writing I do.  I do a lot of writing here.  Some posts are short, some are long, but there's a post (almost) everyday.  And you know what?  It's a lot easier now than it used to be.  I look back at some of the earlier posts and see how far I've come.  It's a great exercise and I'm really enjoying it.

This isn't my only blog either.  I have a blog that for now is private about my relationship with Rudy.  It's private because I want to make it look awesome before I give out the address and I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it.  It's a personal blog that I'm going to be sharing with my family and friends but I'm not sure if anyone really wants to read it.  In actuality, it's more for just the two of us as a chronicle of our relationship so we'll have the memories someday (like a live scrapbook that's always being added to).  So even though I don't write there everyday, it's a completely different experience to write for myself in the future.  If that makes sense.

I also started a super private blog.  I've decided to let the sister thing go for now.  But because I'm me, I can't really let anything go.  So I've started a super private blog where I'm writing them letters everyday.  Sometimes I write about me and my history, sometimes I write advice I wish I could give them.  I don't ever write about our parents.  Some posts are pictures I want to share with them.  Sometimes I just post a quote.  But everyday there's something there.  They might never see the blog.  It's more for me to feel like I'm doing something.  If we do get in touch, I can either give them access or I can chose from my letters and send a few to them.  We'll see.

That's a lot of writing.  Lots and lots of writing.  I'm glad I have the time now.  I don't think I always will.  So I'm going to keep writing as much as I can right now and keep going for as long as I can.  And because I'm in the habit of writing everyday, I hope that when things get crazy again (and we all know they will), I'll still be able to write and keep it up.

Plus all this writing means that my typing has gotten a lot faster.  Which is amazing.  My goal is to get up to 75 WPM by the end of the winter.  I can do it.  I'm floating around 72 right now.  Hehe!
