This is going to be a short one. After my long rant, this might be surprising but I live to keep you on the edge. Of the posts on I’ve written on making this portfolio, there’s been a bit of a rollercoaster. The first two are pleasant and the third was written from the pits of despair late last night. This post is written on solid ground with a similar tone as the first but the same detractions as the last. I spent most of today linking and proofreading, things I don’t enjoy. Still, I feel done. There is always more to do but at a certain point, it’s not about doing everything (Because that’s impossible) but doing enough and I feel that I have done enough. Please overlook any typos; I tried as hard as I could to weed them out but there are 33 pages in this portfolio, what can you do? This attitude more than anything shows me that I am done.
I wrote a blog post about knowing when to let go of your writing. It was more about getting over the jitters to turn in work than anything else because I don’t think you ever really let go of writing. I may stop working on this portfolio but you know, if in August, I’m on it and I stumble upon an awkward sentence structure I will change it. And when I return for Writing 400, there will be more there. My body of work is constantly growing. My skills are developing in multiple areas. That’s why I chose the tree theme. That’s why I made this portfolio about the ways writing in different subjects can help you write and what characteristics I think a good writer has. So I end where I started. Hopefully you enjoyed this lovely short post. Not so much a ramble but perhaps that’s a sign of improvement.
