I'm Back to Writing! (Blogging)

Entry 1/2016

It's been a while since I last posted in this blog. In fact, it has been 10 months! Surprisingly, I never consider of shutting or abandon this blog. Once in a while, I would logged in and wrote something, but for some reasons, it always ended up in the draft box. Thus far, I have 65 writings that never made to the 'publish' section. That bad, huh? 

However, one of my resolutions for this year is to read more and to write more.  I already started my 'One Book A Month' - a specific goal in order to keep me on track with my reading. 

But haven't started anything similar on the writing part yet. I guess I am yet to find my motivation to write - other than for work and educational purpose. And for someone who loves writing, to be in the state of not writing other than for the necessary purpose is quite devastating. My writing skills are getting rusty!


So, a couple of weeks ago, I got on the first move - giving my blog a fresher look. Perhaps it could get me to write, so I thought. But I got stuck again. But today, I resolved that I'm not going to procrastinate anymore. At least not for blog writing. So I asked myself - why do I started blogging in the first place? Because it was the 'in' thing back then? Because I want to share my thoughts? A way to document my journey, of what makes me happy, or sad, or upset?

Most importantly, how sincere I am to write even if I know that there is no one else reading it except me? And if I do write, why I keep on hitting the 'Save' button instead of publishing it? Is it because I was not happy with with the outcome of my own writing? Or is it because I was not sure whether the sentences are grammatically correct? I suspect that the last question is the main reason that hinders me from writing. Because I was being too hard on myself (no surprise there!). I always hesitate to hit the 'publish' button because I was not sure of the grammar, etc. that might make me look like a fool. But this is not an official stuff or anything, so as long as I got to tell my story, it does not really matter whether I'm following the grammar rules, right?

So, I concluded that, I will and I must write and actually post something in here at least once a fortnight (or should I use 'fortnightly' instead?). I really need to this to keep my sanity intact, to help me to get into my inner thoughts, to get me to tell things that might not saying out loud to anyone, basically to deliver the words that are not spoken or the 'unspoken thoughts' just like the description of this blog! So guys, do expect to hear a lot from me soon!! (Now I wish that blogspot has emoji!)
