fire away, fire away - ricochet, you take your aim.

I want to be a good writer so badly. And when I say this, I mean I want to be a good writer qua writing. Beyond just good sentence structure, I want to be concise, I want to write with clarity and poise. The thing is, I also value the poeticism of rarely spoken words. I want my words to have a lyricism that I never have to point out and for them to resonate, to appear bolded or italicized without me ever having to actually click those buttons.

I want to be able to speak like I write and have friends who will think it's completely ordinary. I want to stop feeling like I'm an endangered species - a dying breed.
