So it seems to me that I wrote lots of shit last several days. Really, trying to write about thoughts, motivation, and concentration, I actually repeated the same things over and over. I know it’s always a little bit new for each day, but taking about the same shit makes me upset. I have to write about different things. While I’m reading English books, I usually see a lot of well-written pages, and I often ask myself: when I’m able to write like that? How much time I should practice to become a good writer in a new language? Of course, I could say that I already write well enough. At least, I can express my thoughts quite easily using a more or less understandable language; and though sometimes it turns out really nice, but to be honest, I wish I could write much—much!— better. I know it’s only the matter of time. I’ll gradually become a good writer in one or two years, and my self-criticism will slow down by the time. I also know that there is no way to get through this period of time without thousands of silly pages and tons of stupid sentences filled with mistakes, foolishness, complains, and so on. Eventually, all this will disappear, and my English will become awesome and outstanding. But maybe there is something more profound than just writing in a good style. I mean it’s not only about how I can write and how many valuable words I use. It’s rather about the self: self-discipline, self-control, self-efficacy, etc. I spend less time for writing than most people spend watching tv, listening to music, and all these sorts of stuff. However, how much I get form that, how much!
