A lot of the times I feel like my mastery of the English language in [b]it's[/b] written form is simply lacking. I do a lot of work as a writer and most of my pieces seem consistently flawed. I have troubles gathering my thoughts sometimes. Also, the first sentence of this paragraph was extremely pretentious, [b]but I wanted to make sure people knew I could write.[/b]

Then maybe you shouldn't have made a very obvious grammatical mistake in that very first sentence of yours.
