My strengths and weaknesses

    After reading the fascinating section II in the Elements of Style, I see I have more than one area that can be considered my weak spot in writing. That being said, I will only focus on the harder point for this blog.
    I believe that rule number 20 is a good place for me to analyze since many of my sentences have the appearance of misleading a reader in what I hope to make clear. Rule 20 is "Keeping related words together."
Though some of the examples in the book are clear with where the mistakes are, much of my writing is less obvious and therefore, take vast amounts of reading to make sure they are direct in their description and direction. It is easy to mess up keeping words together since any one sentence can be reworded in another way and mean entirely something else.
    Because of having to mull over my sentences numerous times, I am strong in keeping needless words out most of my sentences (rule # 17). I read them over several times out loud to listen for those shortcuts and will in the future, make sure that I listen for keeping my related words together.
