Hating Wisely
Published Monday, September 11, 2006 by WhiteFade | E-mail this post
So, I was reading a few well-written blogs last week, and I realized – that I sounded like a total child in mine. All I had to do was read a few of my posts as if I was a stranger... And I thought, wow, I totally sound like a bewildered 14 year old who’s stepped in gum on her first day of school. So moral of the story: I’m going to change my voice a little bit. I’m going to change my process a bit. I used to open up the blogger window and type my post straight into it and upload it -only going back for spelling and grammar cheques. So in actuality, that really is the way I talk. And I’d like to promise that I don’t sound so annoying in real life – but I can’t. I have no way of knowing whether or not you think my writing/voice is annoying. Nor would It matter. all that really matters is what
I think or feel insecure about, and thus – what was the point of this? Oh yrd. <--(not a spelling error – just an inside joke). Now I’m going to try to write the post in its entirety, and edit it. Maybe not so many “umm, uhhh, and seriously’s.” I’d like my writing to say, “why, this girl seems downright fortuitous for a 24 year old,” or something lame like that. This is a learning process after all isn’t it? Oh come on, don’t worry my friend. It’s going to be great. It’s going to be fantastic. It’s going to be like the first time your teacher asked for homework assignments in pen instead of pencil…
Hmm.
Remember that day?
Glorious wasn’t it.
…I can still remember the way the paper smelled when I laid ink on it for the first time…
Oh yrd I literally LOL'ed when I read that. And I love your posts no matter how you speak! (or type that is.) If you want to sound like a child...hang out with me for a day or two. I just can't stop the baby talk!
Yeah, you are definitely a great writer. I love reading your posts, but I am curious about this new voice of yours. So, bring it for the world to see! :) Have a great day.

Don't. Change. A. Single. Word.
