Introducing a Turtle Writer

Have you ever read a book and wondered how the author came out with all the different ideas?
This constantly happens to me. I enjoy reading, although I don't have much time to read, I still able to squeeze reading time by skipping some of the house chores.
Beside finding a great plot in a story is the language used by the author. I have read books with less than intriguing plots but with spectacular language. My first language isn't English, by now you probably figured it out, in the process of improving my English I read many books. Almost instantly I felt (sp) head over heel with descriptive, transition and splendid words that can carve a mental image. From that feeling and in conjunction of improving my writing I decided to write my own thoughts. I've tried writing in a journal, I think there are two or three around the house, I don't always seem to have them handy and my penmanship is not very appealing, after a paragraph of two the words get sloppy. For all the effort I have put into it, I feel that I have not made great gains. Thus, I called myself a Turtle Writer, But I must admit that I have not been fully faithful to the cause. Maybe by using technology I can speed up the process of turning into better writer. It seems that blogging about nonsense topics will get me to use many splendid, descriptive and better transitional words. I am not quite sure how this system of blogging works but I have a place to put down my ideas, without the tedious process of writing them by hand.
