I enjoy writing, it’s something I love to do, but I find myself getting my writing styles jumbled. Right now the world is shaking all around me as I search for something new to grab ahold of. While it does that I spend hours each day pouring my heart into pieces of paper that describe to complete strangers who amazing I think I am. At the end of the day I sit to write to you and find that I wish I had more bullet points.
I’ve written and re-written my halloween special now about a dozen times, with every day that passes by it becomes more bullet point and less flowing descriptions. Maybe I should give in and post it with bullet points, authors don’t use bullet points enough.
I hope you are all well.

Personally, I’m a huge fan of the bullet points.
* They’re easy to write.
* They’re easy to read.
* They’re a helpful organizational tool.
* I am officially now the dorkiest commenter you have reading your blog.

I mix writing styles all of the time. Oh, wait. I’m not a writer.

I’m not a fan of bullet points when I write. They appear unwanted. When I do want them, they turn into numbers. If I do write I spend most of my time slobbering while I stare into space.
You are a writer. If you want bullet points, go for it.
‘There’s only one way to get into the water.’ I always say.
Jump!

Ree, are you sure you’re not a writer? I’ve read your blog and you’ve got a way with words.
Green Girl, you’re now my new favorite commentor, you made my day with your bullet list… I think you made my week, and there’s a good chance this is my new favorite comment ever. Thank you tons!
Omama, thank you for your support. I think I’m going to shun bullet points a little less in my future writings, I think I’ve learned that they’re still a tool for writers.
