Something Eloquent

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.
