Writing

I've given in and decided to start "blogging". Frankly, I could care less if anyone ever sees this or if I gain any "followers". The main purpose is to aid me in my own writing and researches. Booth et al. note, "When you don't take notes on what you read, you're likely to forget or, worse, misremember it." Also, "... the most important reason for learning to report research in ways readers expect is that when you write for others, you demand more of yourself than when you write for yourself alone." There it is then, the two main reasons for me to start this blog: 1) an aid to help me remember and assess what I have been currently reading, especially as it relates to my work for classes, and 2) a way for me to improve on how to better convey ideas to others.
