I am a bad Writer!

I am not happy with what i wrote last time. It was very confusing, i know! But, that is not going to stop me. I will continue to write till i am not completely satisfied with my writing skills. To start with, I am going to frame simpler sentences and put punctuation at the right place. Well, its not actually my fault. I wasn't taught properly in school. I was asked to mug up the places where to put the punctuation. I still remember my teacher telling me, if you see a "but" somewhere (not to be confused with a butt), put a punctuation without wasting your time, vagera vagera. So technically, i was never taught.

I thought of opening those grammar books and start from scratch, but was too bored to do that. Instead, what i can do is start reading a lot and while reading, look for the marks, sentence structure, tone, vagera vagera and solve the mystery on my own. Also, i will start writing frequently, for a better command over the language. Right now, what I am doing is, i am speaking out loud what i am typing and wherever i pause, I am putting a coma... hehe... Sounds funny, but i have my own way of dealing with my issues, whose success ratio, my friend, is still under calculation. Nevertheless, i am trying.

I feel i write stuff just to sound cool, is it? I mean i sound cool when i talk, but that is natural. I am COOL. By sounding cool when writing, i meant a very "wanna be" cool. Could that be because i read a lot of wanna be stuff? Or could that be because i have not found my writing voice, yet? i don't really know what a writing voice is, but i know that each and every writer has a certain voice. That voice makes them stand apart from others. I was once told by a friend that i have a voice, that is, if you know me well, you can make out my write up. He told me i have a voice, and he could hear me talking while reading. The only problem is, I cant find it. I have never written much in my life. My writing till last year had comprised of answer sheets, text messages, chat, and emails! The lingo used, oops, the language used there is grammatically suicidal anyways! So, i have never, actually, written. And my reading also, kind of, sucks! I dint even have the patience to read a long mail. But, since few years i have tried cultivating a reading habit. I have not reached much far, as i still read chick flick kind of novels, but i make a point to read. Coming back to the voice, my first step towards a better writing skill cultivation endeavor is to find that voice!

Now, i like the fact that i write exactly what i feel or what i want to say, without a proper structure. I want to keep the "i write exactly what i feel" part to be intact and concentrate on structure, in a way that the tone does not change. Also, i will read a sentence immediately after writing it and change it right there, as i know it will take some time and some more patience for me to read up something i have just finished writing! So, i can check it right there, to avoid future issues out of laziness. So, next time you read something,  BEWARE! Till now you were reading a confusing write up, now, you can come across a completely full of mistakes wala write up! But, i will try to make some point and will try my best to make it more and more entertaining. Entertainment not always mean funny ha! If you have seen "satyamevjayate's" promo, you have heard it form aamir, what entertainment is!

Kya aap mera iss mushkil safar mein saath doge?
