Keep writing, there are those of us that do like reading your thoughts. And we’d be sad if you didn’t share anymore.

Speaking of bad typing, my secret shame is I STILL can't type without looking at the keys. I've tried and tried, I just don't think it's gonna happen...

Amen to that! And, Karin, you write as well as any of us out here (and better than many). Please don't doubt your ability to write. Can't speak for anyone else, but I LIKE reading the things you have to say and reading a valuable viewpoint that I might not have considered. Now, this is no argument to do it if, in fact, you really don't like to. Just don't doubt your ability to do so. And as for that whole documenting thing--in the blog anyway--I hate it. I do it fairly poorly and my main guess as to why is because it is such a damn pain to do so. It takes more time to toss a couple links in and make sure you have good title labels in, etc. than it does to formulate a decent argument. And although I rarely think of my blog writing as toss off stuff--particularly the stuff that requires this kind of "documentation"--it still seems easier to justify skipping one or two pieces of supporting documentation that you should have. Perhaps this is because in a school paper or journal article you know you have to have them. I don't know. For me it's typing errors since I type so incompetently. “My own assignments just don’t carry the weight in my mind as those that are a part of school- I’m not sure what I need to do to change this.”
