Revise and Resubmit

Reading my previous blog entries makes me realize how poor my writing have been lately. There's just too many errors - grammar, syntax, punctuation, "proper tone". This places my writing from mediocre (have I been there?) to dreadful. I guess it is acceptable for some of my entries posted in multi-language or in my native language . But for my somehow "freestyle pure English" posts, I definitely should be graded a D-.

This might reflect the state of mind I am in right now. Not to say I'm insane (in a sense, yes) but it's just too erroneous, loose and no direction. Am I missing my goal here? Have I just gone from bad to worse? What happened to the only thing I consider as skill? I badly need an eraser. If not available, a correcting fluid/tape should do, right?

It really is good to take a look back on my previous work. Provide constructive and negative criticisms, and re-work for a better result. But perhaps, there are some things, though flawed, that should be kept as it is. Mistakes in the past are good teachers after all. So I'll keep them here as a record of my "weak" writing, will try to create new ones, and see for myself if I was able to move a step ahead.
