I'd like to listen from others, hoping that it might reflect mine

what is stopping you from blogging

@ganbold@sns1.hydranlab.com my biggest obstacle is lack of vocabulary, grammar, structure and/or knowledge in the subject.

Sometimes I don't know enough words to express my idea without reusing the same words again and again. It's hard to write without sounding like a 5 years old. It's even more frustrating if I know there's a word to describe what I want to write but just couldn't recall it. I have to settle with simpler vocabulary and can't fully capture the idea what I want to share.

Grammar is also a big obstacle. I know when things are ungrammatical but don't know how to fix it. My brain never learn how to internalize tenses. I can only vaguely understand it and have to actively check if the tenses make sense. 

There's also a problem of structure. I don't know how to build my sentences in a way that they can flow smoothly from one idea to the next. How to structure things nicely so that the readers could follow my idea. Most of the times my sentences weren't tied together and it's just a jumble of sentences stuck having to share a paragraph.

Last thing is knowledge. Writing really make it apparent when I lack the knowledge in a subject. I only know surface level idea. When writing I start to notice there are holes in my knowledge. I don't know why is the thing is the way they are. I don't know the hows. I don't know the motivation of doing a certain thing in a certain way. It really exposes me as a larper.

Most of this is because I was taught, or at least what stuck, is how to spot bad writing better than how to write a good one

@ganbold@sns1.hydranlab.com here's my perspective 

life is getting boring lately. also, whenever i write a blog, i can't help but making it relatable to other people. which you shouldn't, and is probably not the best thing. you should just write for the sake of writing. to let out what's in your head.

@ganbold 

Lazy.
Overwhelm by ideas or paralyzed by anxiety, which also the source of writting.
Not in priority, usually I write just for currently task to do.
Blank paper syndorme, mind got thing to write, but it wont to come out.
