RE: Writing 101: Why and How I became a Writer (Part 1)
In talking to people about joining steemit, I've actually found that their main reluctance to join is the fact that they're not confident in their writing skills. I think it's a huge indicator of the way the education system is going in North America, but that's another story. I grew up writing and learning English grammar cold, so luckily I love to write. Anyway, I think these are great tips for new writers, and a very good idea for a series. Followed :)
Yes, most people do not start blogging just because they are not confident about their language skills. To be honest, I am not an expert in English or any language, the only thing that I have is confidence, and I do not care if I make a mistake.
Life is short to be conscious about grammar. And it is not just North America, education system all over the world is in bad shape.
The art of writing that people took years to develop and cultivate is gone. Kids do not have the time nor the energy to learn how to write.
It is good to know that you grew up writing and learning English grammar. I am glad to meet someone who is as interested in writing as I am.
I hope everyone will find my tips useful.
