As I have come to the end of writing all of my freewriting blogs for about a month, I have discovered some good and bad things about my writing skills. Either way, I have still grown as a writer, and out of the month of freewriting every single day has really helped me when it comes to knowing what things to say. Now I know how to put words together and not have to worry about how they sound because I can always edit them later if they really need it.
When I first began my freewriting blogs, it was always hard for me to find something to even start writing about. I would sit for at least ten minutes each time just trying to find a topic to start putting on paper. Now that I have written every day for the past month, it is a little bit easier for me to find what to say. Sometimes I still have a little bit of trouble finding a topic, but once I find something, I know exactly what I am going to say, and I never have the moments where I just sit and forget what to say in the same sentence. My sentences fit together nicely for the most part, and the only time that I have to pause is because I feel like I typed something wrong.
Since the blogs are not really a formal type of writing, punctuation has been something that I have somewhat forgotten about. In the beginning, I would put commas in all the right places, along with apostrophes. When I got closer and closer to the end of freewriting assignment, it is like I stopped caring about all of the punctuation, and did not care as much about what everything sounded like. I figured that I would be the only one reading my blogs anyway, so as long as I could understand everything, that was all that mattered to me. When I do actual assignments, I still use punctuation, however. I guess it was just strictly for the blogs that I had decided to quit.
Comparing how I used to write to how I write now, I would say that I am tons better now. Ever since I have started freewriting, all of my words just fall out on to the paper, and I hardly ever have problems with coming up with something to say. Even when I have conversations with people, I can say what I want better than before. Freewriting has really impacted my life in a way that I never thought something could, and it was definitely one of the best assignments that I have ever had.

freewriting 3-1-14
The biggest problem that I always have whenever it is time for me to freewrite is finding something to even write about. I am an extremely indecisive person so it makes my life actually pretty hard sometimes. The reason I can't make decisions is because I don't want to make anybody mad. Even though everyone tells me that they will never get angry from a decision I make, I can't help but always end up making them decide for me.
Choosing something to eat is probably my biggest challenge. Ever time that my boyfriend and I are hungry and want to actually go out to eat, he always asks me what I am hungry for. I almost always reply back with "I don't know, what do you want to eat". When he tells me "I asked you first.." then I just give him multiple choices and let him pick from those.
I understand that it is more frustrating to not get a specific answer, but I can't help that I can't make decisions. I am getting a little better at choosing what to do, but for the most part, I am still having a pretty hard time when people ask me what I want to do for the day or where I want to go.
Sometimes I feel like I need to have some sort of class that teaches people how to make decisions. The fact that I can't make decisions unfortunately makes it hard to have fun with people. Things will usually turn into an argument because I never decide something to do.

Tattoos are one of those things that I feel like almost everyone will have by around 2050. I just think that more and more people are becoming understanding of tattoos and that they don't make someone a bad person just for having them.
I actually read an article the other day that said they will eventually be coming out with video tattoos. I personally think that it is a really dumb idea and that everyone would get tired of watching the same video over and over again that is tattooed on their arm or leg or wherever. Then again, most people don't get tired of their tattoos of pictures or words.
I can't understand why people hate other people with tattoos. It is just a judging problem that todays world has. How I see it, is that people need to just do what they want and go through life the way that they want to. If someone else's opinion matters so much to where you can't even do what you want in life, those people need to be erased from your life.
As of right now, I don't have any tattoos. I really am wanting to get a few of them though. The only thing that I am even scared about is the fact that it might not turn out the exact way that I want it to.
