Yeh's Blog: Writing is like FaceBook

I can understand the reasoning behind feeling that writing is like Facebook. I can remember the first time I got my Facebook account. I first would like to say that I am not too computer savvy and tend to just stick to the basics on these things. With that being said, I was completely happy with my MySpace account until all my friends up and switched over to Facebook. Let’s face it I was “attracted, excited, and frightened” with the new website that everyone was so hooked on! Being in the military, I have used these websites to maintain contact with family and friends throughout my travels everywhere I go. I can relate to your idea of this website being intimidating due to the material people tend to make public. Some things I do feel should stay between separate parties in the sense that there is too much drama most the time. But as I mentioned, this has been a great way for me to interact with family and friends. I say though honestly, I have seen a lot of people post things on their “wall” that does depict their writing abilities. I do believe that writing skills can come with time and practice. I can understand your feelings on the feedback from strangers….. I too used to have this issue. I will admit that I don’t feel I am a strong writer but you can count on me if you need any help along the way. People on Facebook come and go, if they don’t appreciate you for you why not let them go? Confidence takes time to build in itself as well. Just believe in yourself and you will do well no matter what.
