I&rsquo;m not exactly sure what I want to put on here or write about yet, but I came to the realization I haven&rsquo;t sat down and written my thoughts out proabably since I graduated college in the spring of 2021. I work in technology, so I&rsquo;ve written documentation, emails, Teams/Slack messages, my resume, and whatever writing comes with working at a company, but those have been only paragraphs at most at a time rather than the long research essays I used to have to write. I miss those a bit, especially on topics I find interesting. I also think, as a result, my writing skills and grammatical correctness has declined, which I want to restrengthen. Those atrophies led me to lose confidence in my writing ability and made me put off writing this first post. But after a few days of being scared in my own writing abilities and putting them in front of the world to see, I realized two things. 1) This site is mine. It doesn&rsquo;t matter how bad my writing is on it or what other people think of it. It&rsquo;s my place to be me and express my ideas. 2) Writing more will only improve my writing at its current level, so I might as well just start now so my improvement starts now. This, I believe, is true about everything you want to improve. Of course you won&rsquo;t be the best at something you don&rsquo;t do regularly. And as I&rsquo;m writing this I&rsquo;m realizing that there is no end goal of being a &ldquo;master writer&rdquo; or master anything. The whole point of the process and doing the thing is the improvement and the journey of improving. I think this is where 99% of being a &ldquo;master writer&rdquo; is. Though this isn&rsquo;t necessarily the reason I started this website. I started it to share what I&rsquo;m working on, what I&rsquo;ve learned from what I&rsquo;m working on, thoughts on books I&rsquo;ve read, useful bits of information I&rsquo;ve read that I want to explore more, and learning topics that interest me and sharing what I&rsquo;ve learned. Improving my writing will just be a nice side-effect. And as I wrap up this first post, another nice side-effect is that I just feel a lot better after writing down and sharing my thoughts.</p>https://jacksonsteiner.net/posts/meghan/Wed, 22 Apr 2026 22:02:49 +0000https://jacksonsteiner.net/posts/meghan/<p>Hi Meghan!</p> <p>Sending you all of my love</p> <p>Jackson ❤️</p>
