day by day, little by little

At first, I was thinking to post something here in a daily basis. But, it is obvious that I hadn't. I was trying to to write something good. But, I couldn't, because I didn't know how to write good stories. Still, I don't know how to do it. However, now I know that there is a certain way to improve my writing; to write a lot!! Also, now I know another clue to speak better English; to speak more!!
I've figured out that anything needs to practice for achieving the goal. Many people tend to ignore this simple step, including myself. Actually, I have a writing test in a few weeks. This test measures our writing skill and the skill for critical thinking. This is quite tough. In the process of studying, I was virtually losing my concentration, however, it was saved by working with one of classmates. Her enthusiasm for passing this exam is extremely strong and motivating me all the time. Plus, our weaknesses and improvements are easily found by working together. What a nice stimulation.
I also met a great guy at my school. He is a tutor for ESL students. He patiently listens to my English, and kindly gives advise and corrections. One of his advise was, "Make simple sentences. Then, you'll gradually know the flow." The key word is "KISS"! (=Keep, It, Simple, Stupid!) Since I met him, I try to go his tutoring as much as I can, because every time I talk with him, he brings about this "simple" idea. Also, he provokes my learning curiosity!
Learning is a great because it will enhance yourself. Right now, I'm in its process. So, I will write more and more. Eventually, and hopefully, I will write something interesting. In order to be a good writer, I need a feedback that encourages me. Also, a good writer has to have the ability to accept a critical comment sometime!! After all, I am willing to post more writings, to practice and to be noticed by readers, day by day, littlte by little.
