I know that I am a good writer.<\/p>\n
What frustrates me is that I don’t always have the time or the inclination to show it. <\/p>\n
I find it fascinating to proofread other people’s work. <\/p>\n
People messing up there, their, and they’re<\/i> will inevitably make me growl under my breath, roll my eyes, and cringe.<\/p>\n
I use big words because I don’t know the smaller word that means the same thing. I’m not being pretentious. I just learned to read at a very young age. And many of my “books of instruction” were the Baha’i Writings.<\/p>\n
I know that I am bad at writing fiction. I love reading it, but am often picky about the quality.<\/p>\n
Books I’ve finished recently: Cryptonomicon, The Alchemist, The Valkyries. Baha’i Book: The Seven Valleys and the Four Valleys. I have a list about a mile long of Baha’i books that I want to read. Perhaps over break? I’m slowly working on the Kitab-i-Aqdas.<\/p>\n

I’m working on it. Give me a few more weeks until finals are over. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
