And I learned that too from Malate Literary Folio and believe it or not, despite that experience, I'm still terrified of writing.<br /><br />@jay We have to keep up Sweetie. Your Mom is an English teacher and my Dad loves writing. Good thing I have you to check my posts :)Aileen Apolo-de Jesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655981649479872467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35203873.post-86374096202750043622009-08-17T10:44:33.307+08:002009-08-17T10:44:33.307+08:00I'm not the best writer I would want to be, bu...I'm not the best writer I would want to be, but I'm satisfied with the level of writing I have now. there are times though that I get stumped and try to find the right words to use. I end up making minor revisions around 2 - 3 times.<br /><br />I like injecting wit in my writing projects and sometimes that takes more time than the usual in thinking how to portray a thought in a different light. <br /><br />If you capture the reader's interest, then chances are your writing is effective. And I know a lot of people are following your blog, so that says much. Keep it up sweetie ! ;)JayDJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885561994032320274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35203873.post-81627751276396507242009-08-16T22:27:26.254+08:002009-08-16T22:27:26.254+08:00Yes, I am conscious about my writing. I find that ...Yes, I am conscious about my writing. I find that it's not hard to think of what to write. It's HOW to write about a topic that matters, what point of view to take, making sure I'm politically correct, what keypoints to highlight. Anyone can write, but not everyone can edit. Learned that from being in Malate Literary Folio. :-)Riahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737298798388579270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35203873.post-52963990297314040662009-08-16T02:08:54.089+08:002009-08-16T02:08:54.089+08:00Aww shucks, Aileen.

I honestly don't think I'm any good at what I do - everything is a matter of improvement and perfecting a craft - but thank you for considering me an "idol." You're an idol of mine too.<br /><br />As for me I think of blog entries as fried chicken. Once you get it golden-brown and fried to perfection, you have to make-himay the chicken to get to the bone. Writing the entry or the work is one thing. Revising and changing and doing what you can to satisfy your inner critic, is what makes it worthwhile. Writing is fun, but the down-and-dirty work of revision is what makes it satisfying. :)<br /><br />- MaroMarck Rimorinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416087445359994181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35203873.post-90126663764747863332009-08-15T18:38:52.309+08:002009-08-15T18:38:52.309+08:00A better writer or a better blogger is someone who...A better writer or a better blogger is someone who occasionally correct his/her work for any errors and someone who accepts corrections from others.
