what my passion is

I just started blogging on account of my English teacher, who wants to try this new idea of blogging for English, hoping it would improve students’ writing skills. I’m hoping that it would help my writing, because creativity is not something that comes easily to me. Since I’m not the most imaginative person, I like to read, since it’s a way for me to think creativity without actually making a whole new idea. In books, I can imagine how all the settings and characters look. Even though the authors tend to give descriptions of both, I usually think of descriptions as a guideline. If I like the descriptions of the characters and settings, then that is how I think of it, but sometimes I would disagree with it.

Why I blog?

Honestly, if it was not for my English class this year, I would have never had the thought to even look at a blog, yet alone write one. I have never heard of blogging sites such as bloggers.com or even realized how easy it is to make one. Writing about my passion seemed like it would be almost impossible to write about every week. Now I see that blogging does have its advantages, which includes improving writing conventions and helping students like me with creative writing. Essays or anything that involves creative thinking into English always was not an easy task for me. Writing excessively on the internet, knowing that people will look at my blogs, is almost shocking me into writing a decent writing piece or blog. For the time being, the reason for me to blog is for hopes of improving my English skills, and not just because my teacher is grading this.
