Writing Weaknesses

My writing skills are above average but there is room for improvement and technical expansion. The first and most obvious weakness is my lack of detail in much of my writing. I don't usually pay attention to detail in my own life so I find it difficult to incorporate it into my writing. I also feel like it seems forced when I put it into my writing. However, I know how important detail is to help guide the reader through my reading and help them in-vision what actions are taking place. The second thing I need to work on is not being to critical of what I put into my writing. I chose to keep certain things out thinking they would be irrelevant but it seems as though they might have done a world of good. I suppose taking chances might help me instead of trying to play it safe.
