Extra credit: Applying the things I've learned

Certainly I used the skills that I learned about last time! I would never, ever, ever write just to write and be done with it. In all reality, that blog was very true. Last time I wrote about how the greatest challenge was the commentary and coming up with original thoughts. This time, I went back through and asked myself, "Is this obvious?" Believe it or not, it really helps. That simple question allowed me to weed out those tiny obnoxious rebellions and crush them with a titanium fist while screaming some obscure movie reference. Thats just the kind of intense experience I have writing paragraphs. Like this one. In the end, I think it really helped me to keep my thoughts away from repetitiveness and restatements and instead helped me to come up with original thoughts.

I've always believed originality is one of the most important parts of being a good reader. Even if its not original per se.
