I reckon the reason for it is simple. Simple? Well I realize I can't blog cause I'm too influence by certain writing styles. Mainly that of news articles. Economist, and of late New York Times. They do write well and yes, I hope to emulate them. And yes, I need practice to get there.
There has to be a point(s) in the whole blog entry. Of which, some of you might disagree. But why blog if you don't have a point? and for that matter one that couldn't be elaborated? Then it'll just be factual reporting which I believe can be done in 160 words - tweet!
Which explains why I heading that direction more often. Maybe I should take 5 tweets, elaborate them and make that 1 blog entry. Worth a shot! It'll be of a decent length, decent content and will have more than 1 point. (But it feels like cheating as well)
So there's the catch 22 situation. I need to blog to be able to be of a certain standard, yet not being of a certain standard deters me from blogging. (I must say though, this feeble attempt sure bets you's Mr Lau)
I still have lots of ideas in my mind, of things I wanna say. But the lack of concrete point(s) deters me from doing so. I don't want it to become a dear diary of what I did today that's for sure.
I need my muse!
