Bedroom and Writing

I don’t know how could I live in such an untidy place. For months (maybe years), I postponed painting and remodeling my bedroom. But enough is enough, and last week I decided that it was time to stop procrastinating.

I painted my bedroom walls and ceiling white, and now the room looks brighter than with the old pastel color. Was it really pastel? The walls were so stained that I’m not sure.

My deteriorated, uncomfortable desk reincarnated in small wood pieces. And a not-so-new but spacious desk replaced the old one. Now all my writing tools are organized: reference books on a top shelf; white paper at my left side; the PC monitor at my eye level; and dozens of pens, pencils, and highlighters near my right hand.

Finally, I can sit like a human being to write my pieces. I wrote this post in just a few minutes and one shot, so this means that a tidy environment helps my ideas to flow better.

Post Reviews

This week I was organizing all the entries that I have posted to the now-defunct site Lenguajero and its spin-off Scribblando. I filed all the posts by date in a folder. In total, I have written over 30 posts. 

After reviewing all the posts, I have found repeated mistakes in the usage of two specific words: prepositions and articles. In fact, there is a preposition error in almost all the entries. I try as much as I can to use prepositions correctly, but it is so difficult and frustrating. However, I have an alibi, native speakers frequently use prepositions incorrectly too. So be careful with your google results when looking for advice on the correct usage of a preposition.

I appreciate Matt and Kathryn for their valuable comments in all these writings. They have been excellent English teachers.

In conclusion, even though sometimes I run out of topics, I want to continue improving my writing skills. Practice makes perfect!
