My Little Experiment

Well, I've caved for every type of social-networking out there--why not now? As a college graduate in English, I thought it would be important to get some examples of my writing style out there (aside from my fiction and poetry, that is). Many journalism positions on and off-line require it. Seeing as I've got my own opinions on how the world works, what "erks" me, and why anyone else should give a *@!& (*grin*), I figured that a blog would help me in two ways: get my feelings out so that I don't yell out of my car at someone on their cellphone while driving (which I've done--often), and also show good examples of what a research paper can look like when you don't use overblown language while still keeping it academic. Trust me--I've proofread enough students' papers to know that using "cacophony" instead of "loud noise" doesn't nab you as many kudos from professors as you may think. Keep it simple...bigger isn't always better. Hopefully, I can create a somewhat interesting blog and give students or people in general some good examples of research. So enjoy, think and learn! I look forward to hearing from anyone who has any questions.
