Since Microsoft started MSN Spaces, which is binding with MSN Messenger, 90% of my friends have started writing blogs. It is good, because we all love writing stuff. Technically, most of these blogs are publicly viewable, but some of them are being used as personal private diaries.
I don’t like writing diary. Instead, I like blogging. But you might be wondering, “Hey, what are the differences?”. I have been blogging for 2 or 3 years, as a newbie – I must have already failed if this is a course =). What make diary and blog different in my opinion, is that blog is a way to communicate, and diary is not. We have post offices, cell phones, internet and many other means to communicate, just because we always have our own opinions on different things or some of us just want to get rid of loneliness due to our human nature. I write to public, and for public.
So far, there are still many issues challenging me. As many of you can see, I am writing my stories in Chinese and English in an interleaved way. The reason I am doing this, is that I want to maximize the number of readers from any corners in this world. Everyday I have many ideas and thoughts, but some times I found that writing a topic, which I can easily wrap around in Chinese, can be very buggy to myself if I want to write it in English. Clearly, the reason for this situation is because of my skill in written English. Thus I’d like to share the comments about how to write good blogs in English, if anyone has any, such as topic choosing, paragraph organizing and etc. In addition, I’d also like to know what I was writing good and wrong in my past blogs.
Any comments are greatly appreciated.
