Better late than never

If there is one thing I've learned about writing, it's that your always writing about something that's already happened. It makes a lot of sense too. However, there are times when I write about things that have not happened and that's when my imagination has to kick in but for the most part, writers tend to write about events that have already taken place. For me, I have my hand in so many candy jars, I can't seem to get one thing finished before I start on something else. I have stories archived in my notebook that I have been meaning to post for a while now but haven't got around to doing it. When I worked at Vulcan I drove an off-road haul truck and my job was just driving... all day long. While I was waiting to get loaded or waiting dump or any other type of waiting, I would pull out my notebook and write away. It was great for passing by the time since I was there sun-up to sun-down. Once I got home I could follow what I wrote in my notebook and quickly make any necessary changes. Nowadays I seem to go straight to the computer when I want to write. The one problem this leads to is spending hours sitting here trying to figure out how to word everything. I don't want to get into using words where you have to keep a dictionary close by but I don't want it to sound stupid either. Whatever it is I write about, it needs to make sense. I am finding myself going back and reading over stories I've already wrote and finding typos and even sentences that really don't make sense. To be honest, half of the time, I really don't know the proper grammar to use for most of the stories I write. I just write... that's it. I've said this several times before and I'll say it again... To me it's all about capturing the moment and tapping into your emotions. If I can make you laugh, smile, inspired or even shed a tear, then I feel like my writing has been successful. So with that being said, if you find a typo or something doesn't make perfect sense, just do me favor and try to look over it until I get it corrected. If I would've known that I would take up writing later on in life I would've paid a lot more attention while I was in high school.
