I’m not very good with words…

While I don’t have a problem deciding to write a blog post, I very often don’t end up posting anything because I can’t figure out a good way to word whatever it is that I want to write. This is occasionally a problem with homework, too. I usually end up writing a bunch of things down, and after a lot of editing, I can make it work similarly to what I had originally intended.

It’s not that my vocabulary is poor, but I would say that it is a bit underdeveloped through a general lack of reading or failing to actually look up words that I don’t know in a dictionary. It also has something to do with a brain injury I suffered when I was 16. Tests were pretty conclusive indicating that I had a problem recalling words when I needed to. While I’ve learned to deal with this setback pretty well, it still causes some issues with things that I might not be all that passionate about.

Additionally, while I will occasionally use it myself, I really dislike the use of improper grammar. This also makes it difficult to word some things, as I don’t like to post something that is filled with grammatical errors. Though, I will let one slip by occasionally, if I don’t feel like it’s a major issue or if the mistake complies with improper standards set by society.

Regardless, I’m trying to develop the vocabulary (through reading and writing) and not care so much about saying things as elegantly as I’d like, at least for this blog. Homework still does necessitate proper wording, at least sometimes.
