On an Infinite Number of Typos – A Review
We need to talk.
I was going through my blogs from these recent weeks and they are LITTERED with typos. Oh my goodness. It’s so bad! Why didn’t you tell me?
To be fair, most of the typos were in blogs where I was complaining about being crunched for time, or having way too much on my plate. But there were a couple of instances where I straight up accidentally deleted a word. I read all of these blogs out loud before I post them, so how I managed to do that (like…four times) is beyond me. But. I fixed all the ones I found.
While doing so, I had an ample amount of time to reflect on what I’ve been writing about. There is a real narrative thread developing across the blogs. One that a sharp eye and a constant reader might be picking up on. I don’t want to spoil anything, but I think this season is about to take off. We’ll see where I end up by the end of it.
All I know is that whichever side I am on when the dust settles is going to be the more inconsistent, wild, often unremarkable, mind-numbing, and plainly crazy side. But, I suppose, that’s just the way I like it.
Well.
No, it’s not actually.
Anyway, back to my quick written writing reflection. I think, at this point, it's pretty clear that Something Sorensen isn’t much of a copyediting business anymore. I’m not exactly certain of what it is, except just a place to vent sometimes.
So, I want to make that clear. That these blogs are generally me exercising my right to vent. My emotions in them might be hyperbole, they might become quickly convoluted, they might be emotionally inconsistent, and they might even have typos.
I’m reaching a point where I’m unsure if I’m addicted to work or if I’m addicted to quantifiable problems. With those, I can finally weasel my way out of those nagging nights where I imagine being self-descriptively unjustly punished for how I feel or who I am. Because I am just too focused on fixing what I actually can.
But the blogs, in a lot of ways, are a medium in which I can exert my own will and testament against the things I cannot change. The things that are immovable about me, about the people around me, and about the world.
This blog is a place where I can freely shout. And I want to say thank you for listening. At first, writing this often for this many people was daunting. I had great support to get me through the door. And have continued to have great support pushing me along.
If you want to, you can hit the contact button and tell me what you like about my blog, what you don’t like, suggestions, or anything. If you want to talk about life, liberty, or the pursuit of happiness, let’s chat. If you need to vent yourself, I’m all ears. If you’re feeling just a bit off, let’s work through it.
You’ve given me a space to put myself out there, and I appreciate that. I plan to continue regular updates on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I am working on getting my schedule set again. Once I’m there, I might fix the typo problem…if you’re lucky!
Thanks for reading and have a great rest of your week!
Note: It has been brought to my attention that this blog has a lot of typos too. This was not on purpose for humor's sake. I really am just that kind of person right now.
