So, I'm sitting in Starbucks with two computers, five books, a note pad, pen, and my mind. It’s a funny site, but it's necessary to get things done, especially this novel. I have learned that the more I read, the more I can get creative with my words. For a long time I use to try and fool myself into thinking I was smarter than I really was. Truth was, I was smart, but not like I thought. I was living a lie. Now I don't live that lie anymore. I realized my weakness and I try to make it stronger. My weakness is my vocabulary. It's not strong enough to carry the weight of my writing. In order to get my point across or keep my audience interested, I need to be able to use an array of words. Once I came to grips with this, I began to get better. People began to respond to my words differently. It also made my message clearer. This is why I have five books with me now that I will be reading as soon as I finish this blog.
Don't think that you are so good at something that you don't have to increase your skill. Professionals only remain professionals because they exercise their skills. If you feel that you are good or even great at something, test yourself to see if you can become better. One of two things will be discovered. Either you will see that you are not as good as you think or you will discover that you can be better. Either way, you'll be making a discovery that will better you. You can use this on anything and I do mean anything. If you think you are a good lover, test yourself. If you find out you can make yourself better, that's a good thing for you and your partner! If you don't believe me just try it.
