I like the writing in your blog =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3939310706990976727.post-77181359974339804702009-09-17T13:54:24.383-04:002009-09-17T13:54:24.383-04:00First, thank you for commenting on my shamelessly ...First, thank you for commenting on my shamelessly promoted phones post from 20sb. <br />I can really relate to a lot of what you say about writing. In high school and even in college I never worried about papers because writing them always came easily. For me, the problem was "I can write a B+ paper much, much easier/faster than anyone else, but I will rarely do the little extra effort it would take to get that A- or even A"<br /><br />I am also trying to figure out what to do with writing, since I'm kind of stuck career wise right now, and blogging seems like a good escape. I was just saying to my friend yesterday that the only thing I'm really trying to do right now is to get people to read my blog and produce something actually worth reading. In between avoiding having to answer the phone, of course.Rachelhttp://rachelnotrebecca.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
