I began 'blogging' over a year ago. This post will reflect on what has gone well, what I hope to do better, and how the blog has evolved.
What Has Gone Well?
Although I was not able to blog in a systematic manner last year (i.e. in 2017), I find that there has been a positive change in that respect, so far this year. This is particularly impressive given that I am also engaged in giving my IGCSE examinations. I think I have begun to develop a body of work, and have been reading a variety of interesting material. In this respect I should like to thank my father, for his constant support, his help with editing my posts, and for explaining any concepts which I struggle to understand. In addition, I am grateful for his help in navigating through the barrage of available material, and advice regarding what will be a more 'value-adding' read.
What has not gone so well?
Firstly, as I mentioned above, I have been irregular in writing my blogs, but believe that there has been a positive improvement on this front. Secondly, there is significant room for improvement where my writing style and skills are concerned. In an attempt to make all the points I come across, I often do not express my thoughts in the most elegant manner, which makes it difficult to read the blog. A lack of focus on the writing-style reduced the hurdles and barriers which were making it difficult for me to blog regularly. However, as I have finally got into a 'rhythm', I intend to focus a little more on my writing-style too. My posts are also often more summaries than a bunch of thoughts. In my opinion, although this is not entirely what I had set out to do, it may produce a useful bank of work, which I should be able to refer to in the future.
How the blog has changed.
The blog has become a personal journal or diary. This is because, I have not shared the link with people I know, because I have not blogged regularly, because I am not a professional, famous investor, and because my blog is more a summary of others' writings than a piece of original work. In the future, as time goes on, I hope this blog will gain a reader base. However, for the time being, I am considering this a personal diary.
