Writing Strengths

Elrena tagged me with a writing meme. I'm supposed to write about my writing strengths.
So, here we go....

I can write about just about anything, if I can find the information. Essays, articles, stories, blurbs, press releases - you name it, I can write it.

I'm a fast writer. I compose most of the piece in my head, and when I'm ready, I sit down and blast it out.

I edit as I write, so it's rare for me to have more than one rough draft. I suspect this comes from the fact that during my high school years, I took a full course load (all four years), held down a job, babysat when I wasn't at that job and read everything I could get my hands on. That didn't leave a lot of time for third and fourth drafts.

Now as everyone knows every strength can be a weakness, too. I can write just about anything, which sometimes leaves me feeling like a kid in a candy store. I can't choose just one.

I am a fast writer, but that leaves people perceiving my ability, now and then, as something to take for granted.

Editing as I write can sometimes stifle my creativity.

That's all folks.
