    This…Isn’t…the End!!!

    by

    This is actually saying quite a bit for me (and by no means am I trying to be pompous about this), but for the first time in a while, I actually felt like I learned something out of an English course! The improvements in my writing came from the fact …

    Bye Bye, Bias.

    by

    What’s the opposite of being controversial? It’s called, being objective. Being objective turns out to be a key quality in order to actually provide a sound argument. What I mean is that it’s the difference between being one of those people who say, “OH MY GOD THERE SHOULD BE PRAYER …

    Writing Focus: "You sure use some stuffy language, bleh…"

    by

    Here’s something that I don’t think that a lot of people legitimately have a problem with, but it’s something I personally address all of the time: getting lost in big words.

    Now, HERE’S something that we all have to face at some point or another–group work. I’m going to be incredibly frank about this: I do not prefer group work at all. I’m a lone wolf in this type of situation. Yet, that sort of viewpoint wouldn’t help me in an …

    Asking the Right Questions.

    by

    As a writer, one of things that I personally try to strive for is simply to entertain. Yet, there are so many aspects to writing that are involved with being an entertaining writer. For example, there’s a rather essential question that I need to ask myself: how can I ensure

    A Rule That I Find Difficult to Abide By.

    by

    According to Vonnegut’s rules, honestly, rule #2 is the hardest for me to follow. It’s mainly because of the fact that I’m incredibly long-winded, however, I still stay relevant–I always find my way back to the subject without getting too sidetracked. Yet, I get sidetracked in the first place and that’s
