Compiling all entries into montage on the Pledge crossed my mind briefly, but I realized wordsmithing is the objective of this game– improving it at that!

Perhaps I do not give myself enough credence: I have successfully written 40 blog posting. Though inside my heart I have this unknown trepidation that all is going to crash and burn. I mean, once you get so high, you have to fall, right? Or so the cliche goes anyway.

What are the noticeable results that can be gleaned from writing so much, all the while juggling a 60 hour work week as an English teacher, going to church 3 times a weekend (yes, you read right, weekend), and still finding time to read books?

The results, quite plainly, are amazing! Proof is in the years of writing. Let’s look at something I wrote in 2008: hey all, This is my best attempt at crush by David Archuleta (very hard song becuase it has such a great vast in vocal range).

What the heck, right? Now look at my writing! I can feel the inspiration flow from my brain down to the tips of my fingers. Fingers are dancing across the keyboard in an awe of written fluency.

Even after I read my first entry, which is here, I instantly spot strides made in my syntax and flow of the written word. As of today, I feel like my vocabulary is stretched to levels I have never reached before. And then there is the pressure of producing writing for a small audience; it is kind of cool that I have subscribers.

In the profession of teaching, I have noticed that my ability to teach writing, including several styles of essays, and grammar, has all increased threefold. As an educator, I feel more confident than ever in my written word– thank you blogging (and reading).
