My Writing Goals

    I am most comfortable writing fictional short stories or creative pieces. I have written short fan fiction stories based on characters from popular TV shows and movies. I have also written my own thoughts in a blog/journal. I have written most of my stuff privately in a journal. I have also uploaded some stuff on various blogs or message boards. I have posted some stuff anonymously and some stuff on my personal blog. Nothing has ever been published or written in exchange for money. 

    I write to get my feelings out of my head. I love to write, but I do have to say I dread it at times,  as I'm sure most writers do. Overall I enjoy it, as it allows me an outlet to express myself. It is sometimes hard for me to get my thoughts out, so writing has always been a great outlet for me. I am trying to be more expressive and public with my writing and would like feedback to help me improve my skills. 

    Some areas that I know I need to improve in my writing are to enhance the flow of my transitions, expand and refine my vocabulary, and become a more careful reader for editing. I also want to gain more knowledge and skills for writing and communicating more professionally, for networking as well as to hone my skills and be able to proofread and edit for other people's work.

    My short-term goals for writing are to continue to learn more and better my writing abilities while also turning my passion into a career. I would like to start proofreading and editing other people's short documents as freelance work. As I keep growing my skills, I am attending a couple of courses in writing and communications, and by next fall I will hopefully be enrolled into college to pursue a degree.

    My long-term writing goals would be to work as a freelance writer doing advertising, blogging, live updates, with a niche in marketing. I would possibly also be interested in doing some editing or ghostwriting. I look forward to seeing where this journey in writing will take me.

Soylent, A Meal Replacement with a Conscience

Soylent is a growing brand that offers meal replacement products. It stands out from competitors by maintaining a sustainable product that meets all nutritional needs. While originally targeted for tech workers in Silicon Valley, Soylent has grown to be a product everyone can use. The products include drinks, powders, supplements, and nutrition bars.  When visiting the Soylent webpage, one can be impressed to see right off the bat how clearly Soylent delivers its brand position statement. The logo reads, "Let us take a few things off your plate," playing on the phrase 'to take [something] off your plate' meaning to lighten your load, make your life easier, as well as the idea that their products will take a few things off your plate because their products aim to replace your meals. This phrase hits Soylent’s top consumer, people who don’t have time to eat. These key features are selling points to consumers who want a healthy meal replacement with a good conscience.  S...

What is that "Bitcoin" you keep hearing about?

       You probably keep hearing your friends talk about Bitcoin, but maybe you still aren’t quite sure what it is and don’t want to ask your friend to explain it AGAIN. So let’s try to break it down. Bitcoin is known as a cryptocurrency. These currencies are a virtual form of money that can only be exchanged over the internet. Although the word “coin” is in the name, and the logo is an actual coin itself, there are no physical elements to cryptocurrency, it is all digital. Bitcoin was the first of its kind. It was launched in 2009 by a pseudonymous user who goes under the name Satoshi Nakamoto. It was built on the principles of computer science, cryptography, and a trustless system that would eliminate the need for a central bank.       Satoshi Nakamoto developed Bitcoin to be a secure open-source software that users could exchange money through with anonymity. Instead of a bank to back it up, users control the ledger through a peer-to-peer netwo...
