True Writer (Blogger)

Here I am, about 10 months since I parted blogging.

I miss those days when I used to blog about anything honestly in my old blogs. Sadly, my school shut down my old blog site. I had so many good posts there and I just regret I didn't save them.

I remember criticizing my own school in one of my posts. Of course I knew that the school would read the post. But as a blogger, how can I write a good piece if I'm not being honest? In fact, the only reason why I feel like I want to write time to time is that I want to express my hidden emotion that is about to explode. This is what I truly call "writing for my own pleasure."

Sometimes, I can't believe that I enjoy blogging now. I was never an A student in English class ( I was always B+~A- student). I never used to like the subject itself. I never enjoyed reading books. I never enjoyed writing papers. Heck, I sometimes still get 7 on my SAT Writing Essay section. Then why is that Mr. Burell, one of the most read edu-bloggers now, praised my writing once? (Mr. Burell, if you are reading this post, I'm sorry I haven't been following you. It's just hard being a highschool student and Korean at the same time)

I honestly think I don't have the best writing skills. I still have much room to improve on my word choices, metaphors, flow, and so on. But I could write with honesty. Honesty can bring rewards as well as demerits. But what is wrong with writing bad stuff about my school when there are millions of people out there writing horrible stuff about their president?

So, I restart my blog with this new "schooly-blog." I'm ready to write about anything.
