Your writings are OK. I hope that these will improve with your maturity as I see some of them are as just “adolescent thoughts”. That is not a big deal. We all are evolving as writers, plumbers doctors etc.

I’ll tell you what’s wrong with your writing: you are too much of a pussy. Don’t get me wrong, (most of the time) you are are an interesting enough observationalist and there’s nothing wrong with your style–your short sentence structure is nimble and highly readable. But I don’t know why you do this, maybe because this is a blog, but you often tend to dilute your writing (and observations) with that urge to play for/please both sides, with countless maybe’s, ‘i dunno’s or ‘i guess’s etc. If you show more conviction and back up what you say with more balls, you will definitely come across as a better, more uncompromising ‘writer’, even though it might put you at more risk of being called out. Sure it’s a blog, but when you do it for too long, the bad habits of casual blogging carry over to your more serious writing as well. All great writers really believed in the truth of what they wrote. Or made it sound like they did, at least.

They might also open a file for you at the CID if you got yourself categorised under blogger. Better stick to writer.

Keep on writing, you are good at it. And if you have an inclination, write a book.
