Just got done writing a challenging paper. I suck at writing papers. I always do really mediocre. You would think the practice of writing a semi-regular blog would be good practice for this, especially because it was an opinion piece, I write those all the time, right? wrong. Writing this blog has made it easy to throw words on to a page. I can produce a piece of writing fast and painless and with a measure of pleasure, it is calming. Still it does not teach me quality. My quality rarely gets evaluated, worked on and, therefore, never improved on. So, I am like a thousand monkeys on a thousand typewriters. I produce stuff really fast and it maybe good on occasion, but usually it just tends to wander toward the average.
