I've started reading a book that my Mother/Sister gave me for a gift-giving-occasion at some time in the past called "Seven Steps on the Writer's Path: The journey from Frustration to Fulfillment" by Nancy Pickard and Lynn Lott [AMZN] It's really freaking good! I should have read it when I first received it. I'm trying to take the lessons in this book to heart, I don't have any evidence that it will work, but a lot of what they are saying (at least in the chapters that I've read so far...) makes sense.
I've been unhappy for a while now in several aspects of my life, and I'm starting to accept that unhappiness and that is feeding my want to correct it. I have something I want to write, and I'm doing research now so that what I write will be accurate. I'm also reading more technical writing, and thinking about what techniques I can see that writers are using to communicate complex technical ideas to people who aren't necessarily technically inclined. I've been writing short articles for my workplace that describe our procedures, and documenting the assorted hints and tricks that we use in the Bench Technician field.
I'm also going to finally finish taking my CompTia Certification. I know enough to get it I think, and I damn well need to stop procrastinating and being afraid of change.
Afraid of change....
Damn, I need to write more. I didn't expect those words to come out this time.
