Talks with Tony

Good evening everyone! Recently, our collective group was tasked with updating and fixing three separate paragraphs with all sorts of grammatical errors in them. This puts our knowledge on our Grammar, Spelling, and Punctuation skills to the test, along with a few miscellaneous errors within as well. While this was the main objective of the assignment, I also want to take the opportunity to see how I compared to my fellow peers as well.

Before considering anything, my idea was to get into something related to advertising or marketing analysis. The closest thing I can imagine for myself now is a journalist in the technology and video game industry, since those are two areas I keep myself heavily involved in. For the sake of continuity, I will ...

       Evening everyone, welcome to Talk with Tony , a small blog series I intend to run for the next few months. My area of specialty is regarding anything involving technology, media, and video games; very run of the mill if you ask me. Thank you for taking the time to read, I really appreciate your viewership.     You know, diving into these kind of writings out of the blue can seem to be a bit daunting at first. Believe me it's extremely daunting to write professionally for anyone. It's always important to have some sort of reference: people who's writing styles speak to you as an individual. That way you can culminate the the admirable flow of their styles and incorporate it into your writing. Let's take a look at 3 different sites and how aspects from separate authors inspire how I myself want to convey information.
