I think I'm a pretty good writer and I have to reviews to prove it. Just wish I had more reviews.
But there are some things I'm not very good at.
1) Parking. Not just parallel parking (I'm actually decent at that), but parking between the lines. I'm almost always crooked, or to one side, or both. I'm rarely as bad as shown in the picture, but close.
2) Book Marketing. Yeah, I know.
3) Proofreading. As a writer I should be good at this, but I'm not. That's why I have my wife and a friend both proofread what I write before I submit it.
4) Not speeding. I once tried to go the speed limit all the time. It lasted about two days. I couldn't stand it. Even that 5 mph over the limit I usually go made the driving so much better.
5) Determining how much liquid is left in opaque bottles. Shampoo, body wash, eye drops, it doesn't matter. I will think I'm almost out, put them on the shopping list, and then the new bottle will sit on the counter for a week. Or two. If the liquid is viscous (shampoo, body wash), it's worse. If I can shake the bottle and feel how much is in it (eye drops), I'm a little better.
6) Remembering blog post ideas. I'll have an idea for a blog post, not write it down thinking I'll remember it, and then forget it.
Do you have things you have to admit you're not good at? Let me know in the comments below.
