But seriously, the previously mentioned person complemented my writing some weeks ago and it made me a bit self-conscious. I feel like it's been showing in my latest entries, partly* because I'm afraid to write badly, and partly because I've been trying harder to make them quality pieces of work... or something like that. I know I'm not a bad writer, but I also know I'm not at all an excellent one... yet. I think that if I work on it and practice more, it could become quite decent. I'd say I'm at about a 5 out of 10 of my writing potential. Of course I got this number using my precise writing goodness calculator. (That one was a huge Rena-cliche by the way). Being in this in-between stage makes me nervously satisfied with some phrases and paragraphs because while they look good to me, stylistically, structurally and grammatically, I feel that any critisizm would hurt badly. What I'm trying to say here is that I am trying to write well and that I can only hope that from time to time I succeed.
