This post may be uninteresting to most readers, as I\u2019m unsure what to write about, and I\u2019m just putting words on the page to break through my writer\u2019s block. Creative writing is not my strong suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s been a challenge to find things to write about in this course. My writing style is concise and practical, so I find it hard to meet minimum word counts on many assignments. For example, my senior project group needed to write a roughly ten-page \u201ctechnical requirements\u201d document the other day. The problem is that our project\u2019s requirements could be well-explained with two concise pages and a diagram. Who wants to read ten pages of mostly fluff?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of my stance on minimum word counts for assignments, I\u2019m looking forward to improving my writing in this course. Writing at length will take a lot of work without being wordy and including lots of filler content. I\u2019m up for the challenge, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/THK4ZYfJA2SXZn0sJhrbF9sYVg6LT5sl0-RiYoUxeiGzuuNJ-tBufVViKSdDPwMMeToeJUpBbWW4H78mcDgI01kAJd15bGzIjdtHi3xhMqJT3NmHxJnHxQrEDSkfTEvYL6tjcjwJ=s1600\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, and welcome to this week\u2019s blog post for my senior project course.
