For other people interested check out https://www.kibin.com/. I haven't used it myself (yet) but it's basically an open source way of having your writing edited by others.
I mean, I'm able to communicate things. But I'm interested in being able to write in a way that's effective and intriguing. I look up to people's writing like James Altucher, Tim Ferris, and I think Paul Graham's essays are absolutely great. Partly I just need more experience in things to write about, but I'm trying to be proactive in getting better at it.
My blog is on my about.me page. I intentionally don't really post the link because I'm not happy with it as to publicize it - but feel free to check it out! vjtorres.com
What do you like about their writing? A good (constant) exercise is to edit what people write, e.g. take an Altucher post and try rewriting it to make it better in some regard.
Hunter S Thompson supposedly typed the works of Hemingway until he finally could copy the pacing and rhythm. Maybe scan the headlines and find something that Altucher hasn't written about yet and write about it in his style.
In my experience I've been trying to learn beginner programming with Ruby on Rails. I feel like there are tons of high quality resources for Python that I come across. Ruby on rails documentation seems pretty good. Ruby documentation though has been tough to find.
I wonder why there isn't more publicity on rexly.com? It seems like an awesome service, filling a niche in a way that's different from the typical music start up.
Two things. I use a paper folded up once horizontally and twice vertically which creates 12 spaces that I use for calendar days for immediate to do lists. For longer things, like interviews and thoughts, I use a small moleskin which makes it a real pleasure to write.
