Know this: I’m a very laid-back kind of person, and I want that kind of vibe to reflect on my writing! I don’t want to write professionally on my blog (ugh, that’s too tiring), so the way I write my posts is almost the same as if I talked to you in person (well, if you’re someone I feel comfortable with). I, in fact, wear a hard-to-crack social barrier that makes me act so awkward and inaudible with people IRL. This blog? It’s totally me! The weirdness, the mistakes, and the immaturity—yep, that’s me. In some way, I want YOU my blog readers, to know me from the way I speak through my writing!

My writing style is so informal, sometimes skittish, and a bit disorganized—OK, not just a bit; it’s chaotic, but I can honestly say it’s very me! I admit there are times I want to sound more mature and professional, especially on book reviews, but I shrug it off because I don’t wanna sound too stiff. And again, it’s just so tiring to even try. Even though I’m nowhere near as skilled as a writer and chose my second language as my blogging language, I still want to present myself in the most honest way I can. I want to write freely! (*insert cat smashing my keyboard gif here*) It is the reason why, despite removing myself from the book reviewing pool, I managed to still blog effortlessly (well, not completely effortlessly, but you get the point) because I’m such a loquacious fangirl who has too many ideas in her head! I have a gazillion ideas, and ironically, I was born with a lazy body that loves procrastinating. Laziness trumps imagination! I actually think I’m an innately verbose person with the body of an introvert.

So my style is not really that great, but hell with it. I know I have a bad habit of enumerating ideas over and over again. I digress a lot (because I always have so much to say and I often get sidetracked). I continuously like to emphasize things I’m completely passionate about. Now that I think about it, I’m less shy to speak about things I love (well, duh, I’m almost anonymous here), but even so, I’m still cautious about showing everything I am, BUT I try so hard to get myself or my ideas across. And even though I’m socially inept, I want people to know me by the way I write. A persona based on my writing! I constantly pursue a writing style that showcases my character. And I hope that shows in the posts I’ve published here on my blog. *crosses fingers*

I’m really happy and satisfied with where my blog is now. I know that my writing has so much room for improvement. And somehow, that makes me so pumped up because I always welcome learning! But at the same time, I want to keep my writing style the way I want it. I share a piece of myself with you all by blogging about my fandom.

How about you? What’s your approach? Formal, casual, or just whatever type? Do you get the blogger’s personality based on his or her writing? Share it with me!
