What makes a good writer?

Just because one has written a lot of blog entries does not mean that one is a good writer. 

I came across a note posted on a site. Her sorority sister compliments her, saying that she is one of the few good writers in the school i go to. Now i personally know her and would be the first person to say that she has written a good number of notes and blogs about anything under the sun. But there seems to be a misnomer that just because you have opinions and you write about them and share them to the world means you’re a good writer. It just means you’re a writer. Period. I’ve read her stuff over time and man, she just fills her blogs with big words which i don’t think she knows is appropriate to use in that particular sentence. She disguises her bad grasp of grammar with unnecessary highfalutin words. Unattractive. And she has the nerve to agree.

So what makes a good writer? Definitely not bad grammar.

Nothing to do.

I’ve been so lazy lately. I’ve been interning for this office for s couple of weeks now. At first i was really excited because that’s where i wold eventually like to work. But then i find myself feeling meh. The excitement was gone. It was a bit boring actually, i haven’t done anything but type, answer the phone, and surf the web. So far i feel like my expectations haven’t been met. Maybe i should just give it time, i‘ve only been there for several weeks. 

One sign that i find it boring is that i don’t look forward to going there. I’ve been finding excuses not to go to the office. Which is really baaaaaad. They are the ones giving me the grade in the end.

Flying.

Kudos to my brother for his first solo flight. I’m very happy for you. Just make sure you’re always careful, ok? I can’t help worry about you. I can’t help it, i’m your older sister.

Beginning.

I don’t know why i started another blog. God knows i have plenty of other blogsites, which i don’t really update that often. For some reason i just felt the need to start again.

Lately i find myself editing my blogs to suit my audience, i. e. my friends and family. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. But sometimes i find myself editing stuff to make it sound wittier than i originally made it. I write for my school’s journal. And every writer knows that you have to suit your articles for your target audience. But maybe that’s my problem. This time, i’ll lose myself in the anonymity of cyberspace.

This time, i think i’ll write for myself.
