even when other things must be done, there is always the blog. now what that really means is that the practive of writing, be i in spanish or in english, is an art of practice. of course there are people prediposed to better apply their vision to any given medium, but without the formation of artistic development, a person's own style and voice are completely overwhelmed by everything that they have read and studied. what i really mean, is that without the practice, you may as well sit with your favorite book at hand and copy word-for-word each chapter you want to be your own, or take a place with your favorite painting, and slowly mimmick each brush stroke you are able to discern (maybe even a little more difficult than copying words for most) but lest i stray from the point, the art is in the some novalty, not continual repetition. whether people will value that art at the time of its inception is another topic and maybe another entry (i will pretend to have learned not to form empty promises to an empty readership) at some possible juncture.
