Anyone who blogs and microblogs and Facebooks to the extent you do couldn't do if they actually couldn't stand the sight of their own words, or the mechanism of getting them out there. I think what you ACTUALLY are is a natural writer -- in that you just do it, without pretense or premeditation. You just say stuff... and that's not anti-, that's pro.

However, I agree completely on the grammar, spelling and punctuation side of it. I write to write, to formulate and express my ideas. Take them, like them, hate them, leave them. I really don't care.

The really beautiful thing about blogging though is it really does help me formulate my thoughts. What do I want to write about, how would I put that into words? How would I express that best? Does the idea hold up?

A fantastic tool. I've started doing audio recordings of my blogs as well for the same reason. It helps increase my self awareness.
