So I am a Communications Major, in the process of transferring from St. Mary's University of San Antonio to Texas A&M University.
I am a former debate captain from my Speech and Debate team in High School and I am looking to hone my writing skills, both professionally and in a mass media sort of way.

Blogging is a hobby I am trying to pick up and I am trying to get some readers to subscribe and help me find things to blog about that almost anyone can relate to, or things that can spark the general interest of a wide variety of people. Of course, there will also be my conservative politics and my gun enthusiasm tossed in the mix too.

Please subscribe, provide feedback, and help me out on this little project of mine!

I plan to! I did a year of ROTC at STMU and enlisted in the guard when I was 17, so Ive been a lowly red leg puke for a couple years now. Im ready to commission and get my feet off the ground!
No, this is not spam! Im frequently in the Handgun - Carry Issues and CZ area of the forum. I don't venture down to the General Discussion area much, but Id like to!

I went to A&M for undergrad and St. Mary's for grad school.  Two totally different schools to say the least.

Gig 'em!

No kidding! Yeah, I was a Finance major for a year....no clue why. Always liked writing, speech, debate, commo, and the likes.

Be succinct. Concise, yet unambiguous, as if you must write with quill and feather pen ink. The shorter, the better the sound bite and more likely to be read and remembered. Ex: 2A!

ETA: A quill IS a feather pen! (And I'd still be in 3rd. grade, if it wasn't for spell-check.)

Thanks for the advice! I will definitely try to work in that direction. I really want the advice as much as I can get it, as my goal is to do a recap every three months and see how my style has transformed, improved, and polished.
