Typos and Clunky Grammar -- Why I Write In Spite of Them

I write, sometimes well and sometimes with errors. This does not prevent me from writing you see as I am a writer. What I need to work on is editing. But editing is so much work and I'm limited in my capability to see my own errors. I don't claim to have the skills to be an editor, so I write.

At the risk of creating competition, I encourage you to write as well. "But I'll make mistakes and misspellings and break the grammar rules", you say. I'll forgive you.

Write. Write well if you can. Write better than you did last week or last year. I'd like to see what you come up with. Send me link or post a comment here on this blog.

Do runners stop running if they can't complete a marathon in less than four hours? I choose to put my effort not towards running, but writing, so I write. And sometimes I begin sentences with the word 'and'.

I'll get the occasional note from someone pointing out my there/their/they're, affect/effect or its/it's/its' error. I politely apologize for the error and move on. I'll then go write something, sometimes well and sometimes with errors.
