So as I was starting to write my third blog post, I couldn't get past the second sentence. I tried and tried to write it, but I wasn't satisfied. This is often a frequent recurrence when I write anything that I deem important, and one of the main reasons I've not ever written my statement of purpose for graduate school. I've always wanted to focus on the quality of my writing versus the quantity. However, in thinking about my last two blog posts, they were both more or less stream of consciousness, so maybe I shouldn't put too much pressure on myself to make every word perfect. After all, this isn't likely going to be the deciding factor about whether I get into a graduate program or not. While the perfectionist in me would like to think of this habit as wanting to make it the best writing possible, I also have to face the fact that this could be me procrastinating... And I think I'll leave with that thought.
Foreshadowing: I did decide on a title of my next blog, which will be coming soon, and will really be about the book. It will be called "Pride & Prejudice & Propriety"
