Focusing on one theme in a particular period helping me with proficiency - Reflecting on my posts in 2014 and 2015
In 2014 and 2015, my blog post was much more focused than now.
In 2014, I focused on events from 2005, when I finished graduate school, without finding a job and with serious communication and behavioral problems, until 2007, when I finally landed on a part time job at a post office.
Review of my life chronologically - My life events from 2005 to 2007
I read back my entries then. It wasn't so bad. On the contrary, much better than my blog entries these days.
Next year, 2015, I focused on my daily progresses. I was determined to take note of any progress every day, whatever small it may be. I was determined to note 100 times, and made posts of 100 progress. I would like to make a list of links my progresses page then.
Why was I able to focus on so persistently then? I think that one motivation was behind this. I wanted to become a writer even though English is my second language, and thought that focusing on one issue at a certain period way an efficient way to achieve this.
Regretfully, however, I wasn't able to find new theme to focus on in the beginning of 2016, and just one least rule remained "posting at least one entry a day, however poor the contents of the post may be."
Failing to set one good theme to focus on in 2016 was probably a major reason for stopping my growth as a blog writer.
As I was wearing out, quality of my post got lower and lower. By the beginning of last year, most of my entry was without their titles.
Based on the stance "this is my daily memo and it happens to be public", there's nothing wrong with such an attitude as long as I don't hurt anyone.
Meanwhile if I take blogging as an opportunity of my growth, setting my focuses in a certain period and giving suitable titles for my post help me grow proficiency to communicate effectively from issue to issue in the end.
Blog as daily notepad still help me grow never-quitting mentality, but I'm thinking that it may be time to find a good theme for me to focus on, to grow my proficiency.
