The View From Space

I am constantly amazed by those who write for a living. Reading articles and blogs from those that do this on a daily basis makes me green with envy. Being able to articulate your thoughts in coherent sentences, then graft them seamlessly into paragraphs is truly an art form.
Unfortunately we engineers are not naturally adept at transferring thought to written word (as all 3 of my blog readers will attest to). The biggest reason I took up blogging was to try and stimulate my right brain to higher levels of creative thought (ok I’m really just trying to advance my writing skills past the level where I last left them, which I believe was the 6th grade).
Perhaps I should approach writing like I do my martial arts, advance a little everyday until it becomes natural and flows without effort (wow that sounds really zen doesn’t it?). I sure hope it works that way, I’m getting tired of being the embodiment of the phrase “Engineer, can’t spell it but I are one!”.
