Communication is difficult..✦ ݁˖

    Communication is difficult. It’s hard. I’m not a writer. I’ve only been writing things for  blogs for maybe a year, and before that I had basically no writing experience whatsoever. I mean, I wrote stuff in high school, but that was a while back. I never really thought about it before, but it dawned on me that if someone’s going to take time out of their day to read something I wrote, I want to present it in an organized, respectful way. I can clean it up, use punctuation, capitalize things, and make it easier to read so they don’t have to work through a mess just to understand what I’m saying. I think it’s just respectful to the reader.
    So, writing. I have no idea what I’m doing. I’ve been trying different styles and trying to figure out what works. It seems like a paragraph, then a space, then another paragraph is pretty common. I’m sure that has a name. I know there are all kinds of writing styles.
Then there’s technical writing. Sometimes when I’m trying to explain something, the verbiage gets really technical, and suddenly I’m reading it back thinking, man, this is super technical. So I try to back it down, but then it feels like I’m not expressing what I actually mean anymore. I’m trying not to sound technical, but the thought itself is technical, so what am I supposed to do?
    Then I start wondering if I should folk it up a little bit. Make it sound more casual. More like me. But that can feel disingenuous too. I’ve tried putting more of my accent into technical writing, and that doesn’t really work either.
    Man, writing's nuts. You’re trying to communicate what’s in your head, but at the same time you’re thinking about style, vocabulary, paragraph structure, how technical you sound, how casual you sound, and the rest of the english language on top of it.
I’m doing the best I can. I think it’s probably just going to take me a long time for my style to emerge
