BLOG-OLAN : Why Blog

{Image:Pixabay}

I have mentioned before that this blog isn't my first attempt at writing.

I could never maintain my previous blogs because I did not have a focus and reason to blog.

I am in a quest to find myself and to see the extent of my capabilities in terms of writing articles with good, meaningful content.

I grew up with not English as my first language. So to blog in a language that is never on the tip of my tongue is not easy.

I think in a different language, and I have to translate my thoughts into an entirely different language.

I do have an option to write in my own native language.

However that would not achieve my goal of reaching a wide spectrum of readers as possible as English language is probably the most commonly spoken language in the world.

By doing all these, I hope to be able to accomplish these goals:

1. improve my writing skills 
2. improve my English grammar
3. to be able to express my thoughts in an organised manner
4. to build a blog into a brand that I could be truly proud of
5. to use my long forgotten research skills into writing a good piece of article

So for the time being, if you see any typos, grammatical or contraction errors, please forgive yours truly.

I am a lifelong learner :)

BLOG-OLAN : The Name

I spent a coupe of months thinking of what kind of blog I was going to build.

Having spent countless hours reading blogs of others, I was still unsure of the name or the direction that I wanted to take.

I could just pick a topic and write on that throughout the life of the blog. But that would mean limiting stories that I could tell. You get to be more focus in your writing though. 

In the end, I decided to write about stuff that brings about the feelings of positivity, pleasantness and at times peculiar. These are also the things that I look for in other blogs that I read.

So here at ThreePV, expect positive, pleasant and sometimes peculiar stuff being churned out by yours truly. 

Hope you'll enjoy reading them as much as it excites me just thinking about all the things that I want to write about in the future!

BLOG-OLAN: The Beginning

I started to blog many years ago and back then it was mostly about random stuff.

I had a couple of blog sites. I would maintain one site for a couple of months, only to deactivate it later due to lack of time to keep the posts coming.

I also think that I wasn't focused on writing. There was no sense of direction or a goal to achieve. Blogging was just an activity for the days when I had nothing else to do. 

There was no concerted effort.

I used to follow other blogs written by friends or just random people, talking in minute detail about their daily life and experiences.

I tried to go in that direction but I felt a lack of passion in documenting my daily life.

I am not against people who document their days in their blog like writing in a diary or journal. 

I just think that direction isn't for me.

This time around, I have put in more effort into my writing and a focus for my blog.

And I am more passionate about my blog this time around!

I hope you'll enjoy reading my blog, as much as I enjoy writing them ;)
