Creative Writing vs Business Writing The Epic Battle Begins (This will be fun)

It is the epic battle of how to write. I think we all develop bad habits over time. I have a ton of them and have been told that I need to improve and that is too true.Not just business writing but in general, I can be good but consistency is an issue, awkward word usage and too much reliance on spell and grammar check.

Really if there is the one thing that has degraded my ability to communicate through words it is the spell check. Luckily I don’t think I am alone in that sense.

I guess it is time to take a class and read more books about how to recognize my own faults and how to overcome them.

You know what words are like a paint brush. They hold beauty and sense, context and meaning at their core. I have one piece of the puzzle and now its time to reach for the other, not for a job but to write to my ability and wash the reliance on spell check away.

So spell and grammar check no matter where you live we are no longer friends. I am going to war with you at best we are frenemies. Look out because it is on.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Rock Mario is full of WIN

I have been and probably will always be a gamer. I love interactive entertainment and there are no other games like Mario games. They are pure fun and this is proof of that. The latest Super Mario Galaxy 2 trailer.

Do I Need a Website?

It is so easy to set up a website but do you really need one. In an age where so many people connect through social networks is what acts as an online brochure really paramount. I can see the value for an organization because they can do so much with it but for me what could I an individual really use it for is my question. All you need to do is google someone and you can probably get more information than you ever wanted. I know that is true for me. I don’t what is the secret sauce for online, I am thinking maybe if I can use a platform that has some good social media hooks then I would consider it and if I could do it myself then that would be interesting if only to understand the process better.

Thoughts on the CV Take 2

What I write here has a lot of undercurrents of my own regrets, failures, hopes and dreams.

I know people who have gotten into the industry that I am still seeking to break into (advertising) but what I have come to understand about myself is that I will not be content just working a job. It isn’t a job it is a passion I will put everything I have into it but try to go beyond it. I once considered this the only way, now I know better, I feel I can do so much more if I was given the chance.

That is a lesson that was worth the time and frustration and if I have not shown that I am committed to this business then I don’t know what else I can do to prove it to someone.

Here is my cv, I have asked plenty of people and been told everything from it is too much to not enough. So I say forget it, I can’t please everyone so why bother. I like it, it feels right and that is what ultimately matters to me right now. If a person or place doesn’t like it then that tells me that is not the place for me to work any ways.

I think of the cv as a filter for the company and myself. I totally updated it thanks for the info. I have no idea how to update pictures using posterous so I had to redo this post. Oh well. Thanks to somekindofwonderful for catching the error.
