So I learnt that it's not enough to just write whenever I feel like to. Most of the time I just felt the urge to sit in front of my tablet and write something, but once I really sit down and put my hands over keyboard, I froze. There's nothing to say, nothing to tell. Even when I had good ideas, there were just too little material to compose a complete article.
So I sit down and give up, and come back sit down again, and give up again, maybe 1 out of 3 or 4 times I didn't give up, that's how this blog came to existence. It's a struggle to write.
Recently I just read a post titled "Think your content should be getting more love? Give these 4 tactics a try..."(https://medium.com/life-learning/think-your-content-should-be-getting-more-love-give-these-4-tactics-a-try-ee154a8f9a10#.ibktug89j) on Medium, and this one particular sentence stroke me "Too many people are entitled and think their work deserves more love when they’ve only spent 45 minutes working on the damn thing." This is just so damn right, I am exactly one of those people who only give a little input but expect big return.
It made me think of my group work at university, we had the topic "child labor" to write a short paper and prepare a presentation for class, me and two other classmates would first off collect a lot of data and documents to quote, write an outline for the paper and then each of us takes care of one part of the paper, in the end we make the PowerPoint together, the whole process took us about 3-4 weeks, and that's how things should be done, there must be thorough study and consideration(we chose the topic on our own) before a good article comes to birth. Not saying that what we wrote was in any way brilliant, it was just for class and wasn't much of original work, just putting together all the things that's relevant, connecting the dots. Nevertheless it was a much better work than any of my posts here because of the effort and time we put into it.
Next time when I write something, I would actively search for a good topic that interests me, and dig deeper into the story, collect more information, make an outline, build a structure, and then I write it.
