a few minor notes

I just read over some blogs to analyze my writing skills. I’ve changed my major to English, so writing is a skill that I need to continue to develop. So far I’ve noticed that I tend to repeat myself a little bit, sometimes in efforts to use parallel structure, but sometimes I just state the same idea twice because I lack the ability to choose words powerful enough to express that idea in just one pass.  Also, I occasionally get lazy with my diction. For example, I sometimes use the word “where” in reference to a time instead of a location, i.e. “a moment where such and such happens” should really read “a moment when such and such happens.” So my writing is a work in progress. If there are any other mistakes you notice, just keep them to yourself and perhaps I’ll catch them later.

That is all.
