On Writing
11:29 PM by Chaaaaa
i had my first blog at live journal, the URL was http://guitaristandme.livejournal.com
i only had two objectives then, ONE was to practice my writing (open for SCRUTINY) and the other was to have a place where i can freely write what i feel.
i signed up on 2OO4 and had it cancelled on 2OO6. i felt that i didn't succeed on my first objective. my blog then was all about how i felt. nothing more. it was always open-ended. no directions. it was all about the journey of my heart yaaakkkk, ang mushy. and the main reason of cutting the LJ was to move on from those bittersweet memories of someone yaaaakkk, ang mushy part two.
and then i tried starting my friendster blog on the same year i cut my LJ. but friendster blog made me uncomfortable. i don't like the interface and all that. ako na ang masama. and there! i discovered multiply through Ate Cres. it was a start from scratch. and there i vowed to make my multiply the ideal blog for me. again, back to my two objectives plus a new one: to be able to impart something to my readers. 2 years later, i think that my blog isn't fulfilling my first objective, yet again. no, not that i want to cancel this account, i just remembered some things while debating with someone a while ago about grammar.
one of the many reasons i wanted to blog is sR_a. He's my English teacher then at Sibol. he's so good that i wanted to write like he does. he expresses his self well and makes his point without beating around the bush. well, you can check for yourself and be amazed, he has his multiply account. he's one ultimate inspiration in writing.
now, the debate in grammar a while ago made me realize that i really want to write not only for self-expression but also to get my point across to my audience. yes, to impart something to them not just my rant about vista, or how my day went, or how McDonald's crew ruined my day and all that diary stuff. i want to grow as a writer. i want to grow.
and with that, i wish to open a blogspot or an LJ once again to have a separate blog for my real writing. and the greatest point yet, i hope to resurrect my faith in my writing that a certain company killed when i failed their grammar and essay exam.
and yes, weeks before i turn 2o, i wish to accomplish my unfulfilled objective number 1.
be there as i do so.
