On Writing Well

Fortunately, I realized that my writing is not that good. Every time I checked on my past writings, there are always moments that "Do I really wrote this bad?". This happens at almost every post I read on this very blog. One of the main purpose that I created this blog at the first time is to hone my writing skills. I do not think that until this time, my writing quality is come up to my expectations. Every time I read books, online articles, news site, and any other writings, I had a hope that one day I could write that well. Flawless grammar, witty phrases, concise presentation, and good choice of words are my targets.

So, I will modify the way of my writings. In the past, I always wrote almost every word that came up from my mind. Think, then, write. It is as simple as that. I do not think that method is bad or wrong, but I will iterate those steps for a few times. It means that the process will be think, write, think, write, think, write, and so on. I will repeat the process at least three times in order to write better.

One of my teacher said that a good writer need to have a good paraphrasing skills. Find a good sentence or phrase on anywhere, paraphrase it and use it. That's why we need to read a lot to cope up with our writing skill. We could learn very much from other people writings. From it's concept until the way of their writings.

So I want to keep focusing on honing my skill for me and every readers. I hope my writing can give you plenty of new things. Good day.

Resolution Evaluation

Hi, everyone! It's been a while since the last post. It is not that do not have the time to write, but I'm trying to give the best writing I can give it to you. I value quality more than quantity. 

It is been the last month of this year. I'm pretty sure this year has a lot of meaning to every people. Maybe this year is their turning point in their life. Maybe this year their life is broke down. Maybe this year is their happiest year in their entire life. Whatever we had achieved, passed, ended, started, or turned in this year, let's be grateful that we make it until today. :D. Let's give yourself a little time to remember all things that happened this year, every little things. Do I becoming a better person than last year? Do I achieve what I want last year? Do I give the best this year?

For everyone of you that have personal yearly resolution, now is the perfect time to evaluate it. Reflect to yourself. It is futile to make any perfect or good resolution without any evaluation or control. 

In my experience, since a few years ago, my resolution is simple and general. I want to be better in character and personality in the next year. I'm still remembering it until now. I, myself, is quite difficult when I tried to evaluated myself. With only thinking about myself, I cannot decide whether I'm becoming better or not. Honestly, I realized that I've never become so confident previously. Now, I can do a lot of things without any hesitant. I know that I understand myself better than last year.

So, I think, it is time for me to change this resolution. I believe that every improvement we got, needs a meaning. It is time to give a chance to myself to do things that matters, a lot. It is simple. I want to finish my education application is finished and can be used by a lot of people. If your resolution is to becoming better that last year, think again. Until what year you want to keep becoming better? I believe you can build something meaningful whoever you are in the next couple years. Just do not forget to give you and yourself a little time to think about it. Happy last month. :D.
