Yesterday my brother was kind enough to pin point some of my writing issues. Apparently I use too much certain words... Again I feel between the sword and the wall, should I worry about all that and go back into my posts correcting style and all that?, or should I just write whatever comes out?.
I might as well try to scan it once and see if there are some bits to correct here and there... We will see how that goes.
Anyway, I am beginning to think that I am indeed my worst enemy, and will not really make my self do the things I want to do in terms of health care. I mean, I wanted to just sleep yesterday, and I could have, but I didn't.
I have this obsession driven mind that will not let me rest until I accomplish some goal, and the issue is that I always seem to have some new goal. Now it seems that it is to play several of the classics, game wise, while trying to figure out what makes them good. Still, it's all about telling stories and engaging the audience in a cool experience... If I had been born much earlier I bet I would have been a street story teller or a puppeteer... Or both.

I believe someone once said 'to thine own self be truth' but that someone seems to of only passed the quote on along and not taken it... why should you worry what 'people' think about your writing style, after all it is YOUR writing style and it is what gives it that Hector touch. I say just go with the flow and write what comes to mind, sometimes those are the brightest ideas.

Wow... touché indeed... Thank you, you are so very right.
I am smiling.
Then again, the notion that most bloggers have a definite writing style does not alter the fact that it sucks donkeys' balls.
I like the way you write, but I think you could use some editing. If what you want is just an online journal, it's no problem. If what you want is to tell a story skillfully, then work on it. The "it's my writing style" excuse is only acceptable from accomplished writers. Claiming otherwise would be akin to saying that 6 year olds can do Picasso (which many people think, but he was actually an excellent realistic painter, and his techniques amount to much more than just blobs of paint thrown at a canvas at random).
Totally right there Sergio, whenever I give my self time to make this site be what I actually want, I will be publishing stuff other than the journal, and then we will see. Which reminds me, what the f*@k happened to the storytelling workshop that we had?... so many projects are stored in that forgotten shelf... damn.
Sure, anytime! By the way, if you want to get anything done, you cant do everything...Focus, focus.

Kind of sad but true, slowly, I am getting to really know that Mishka. Still, life isn't that short so there will be time for several things, at the moment though, I do need to focus if I want to get anywhere.
I wouldn't worry about what I said. Sergio is right, if what you want is just to "post" your random thoughts and events, your style is just fine; however, if you want this page to become something bigger, you might as well put some more time in it.
And yes... Mishka is right, you NEED to focus. You suffer from one of the greatest Attention Deficit Syndromes!!!
