It's hard to think about my strengths as a writer. I must say, I think they became much better once I sat through one or two of our classes. I guess that simply regards the essay. In high school, I don't think I was ever really able to use the best of my strengths as a writer, being how formal everything was.
Now, I'm not a very formal guy. Hell, I don't even know how to tie a tie. I brought two pre-tied ties to college with me incase I ever needed to look snazzy for anything. I think that right there might be one of my biggest strengths as a writer; my ability, or comfort level and desire rather (I guess it's not an ability), to be open, honest, and casual. Now, I know every piece of writing cannot be casual. There are many things that must always be written in a formal fashion. What a spoiled child I would be if I could just write all the time about the strange morning smells of the dorm or what debauchery i like to take part in on weekends. One can only wish. I would say that would be my specialty though. I think that when I do it correctly (kind of ironic) and do it well, I think I can really draw people in with a very personal feel to everything I write.
I want to write personally and causally to you for a simple reason. I'm not better than you. I just want to talk to you. I want to have fun. I feel like I can maybe make a friendly connection with a reader by writing this way. So, that being said, I really hope anyone reading this is finding it enjoyable, because as of right now, this is the best I got. Maybe when I'm in the mood you'll hear something better, but for now, you'll have to deal with this, so I hope you like it.
