Blogging in self-conscious
Woo hoo, I am back for action.
It is quite a struggle for me to blog nowadays. It’s not the reason of being busy; it’s more like being clueless of what to blog. But I cannot be relying on having the inspiration to blog now. Neither can I allow noodle post to become the major contribution of my blog.
So how?
“You can’t sing! You can’t dance! What do you want me to say?” Sounds familiar?
I can’t talk well. I can’t write well. I am neither fluent in English nor good in Mandarin. But the little that I speak often gives people the impression that I speak good English. You cannot be deceived just by a few words I said in American accent. The Australian said my English carries some American accent. The Californian said my English sounds more like an Aussie now. How can that be? I thought it is always the Manglish intonation?
I always find speaking English or Mandarin challenging. I don’t mind if it is only a mere social chat. But if it comes to speaking it aloud in the public then I will get too nervous and don’t know how to say them fluently. It is always the problem when I can’t find the right word to express what I have to say. Blogging is still alright compared to speaking it verbally. At least I can take my own time to wiki or google the right word to use.
It can be quite embarrassing when there are a lot of vocabulary mistakes or grammar error in the article or in your blog especially when it is presented to the web, precisely the world.
Maybe someone out there can teach me at least not to be too self-conscious when I blog? Any idea?
