Strengths, Weaknesses, and Ambitions

As a writer, I think my main strength is that I'm willing and anxious to experiment with new words.  I enjoy perusing dictionaries and trying to implement the curious ones into my writing. On occasion, when I can't find the type of word I need, I try to alter an existing word to suit the situation.  This flexibility helps me keep my writing fresh and interesting for me and for the reader(s).  Unfortunately, this is also one of my great weaknesses as a writer since I often misuse words and thereby inculcate confusion.  Also, I often can't remember the definitions of the new words I use, so I can't even understand what I wrote when I revise my work.  In the future, I hope to be able to accrue a prodigious vocabulary so I will be better accoutered for expressing myself and piquing other people's thought processes.
