Okay, so I have recognized a few stylistic issues with my blog-writing lately. I'm still new at writing a purposeful blog... my usual blogs are much looser in topic (really just journals) and so I feel freer to just write however and whatever I want. Apparently, I might be trying too hard... since it has been brought to my attention that, in this blog, I am not writing completely like myself. I'm sorry if it seems a little forced right now. Hopefully as I get into a groove it'll be easier and flow more naturally.
I am also using the word "delicious" WAY TOO MANY TIMES OMG. I went back and read all my previous posts and was smacking my forehead going "okay way to be redundant and take the meaning out of the word delicious... now they'll all think you just think EVERYthing's delicious!" I'll confess... I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to food... but my use of the word was still excessive.
So anyway... I'll try to loosen up a bit. I guess I'm uncomfortably aware that if I do get people reading this blog, they will all come from a mix of backgrounds. This being a blog geared toward giving a positive impression of veganism (and encouraging people of faith toward reconciling some of the seeming contradictions between animal rights and Christianity) I am, naturally, pretty concerned about how I come across. But I realize that it's probably best to be straightforward and candid because then people can sense that I'm being real. I'm being who I am, which is a vegan, a Christian, an LDS person. A young person who is self-conscious about writing a controversial blog. So at least now I'm going to try to be upfront about that.
I'm new to this. And most importantly, I am not a perfect vegan, Christian, or LDS person either. I'm still learning what it means to be all three of those things... so I guess it makes most sense to acknowledge that--maybe it will help prevent turning people off by acting like I know what I'm doing when I'm still learning.
Soooo... give me feedback and I'll try to just be me xP 'kay bye.
