Sort of. I was hoping someone else would write it for me. I suck at writing.

I suck at writing.

Don't say that, you are only reinforcing that cached self. A good way to improve your writing is to just do it, see what comes out, and iterate.

I don't like writing enough to do it enough. Besides, programming is more awesome anyway.

That's understandable, but it is very easy for it to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. So I try to avoid saying "I suck at x" for any x, unless there is a very good reason to (like "I'm not very good at surgery").
