Writing help

  • A free app: Grammarly. A lot of us are not native English speakers and I am finding it a helpful app. It will underline spelling and grammar mistakes. Remember that it is not always right -especially if you use complex sentence structures. Here is the link
  • Remember The Most Dangerous Writing App. You set the time - 5 min - and start typing. Don’t stop!!! It will destroy what you wrote if you stop for more than 3 seconds - and backspace does not count as writing on the app. If you are prone to stop and think - this app forces you to keep going. You can make corrections after the 5 minutes are over.
  • A timer. Egg timer is a free tool you can use on your desktop to set a time. This is useful for our freewrites or if you want to work in blocks of time and then take a break. Here is the link

Uncertain Ratio

My mind is in blank space, nowhere to go. I'm in a situation where I no longer speak for effort that equates to success because I have been trying my best to pursue my goal and my dreams. Yet I find myself in a situation where my goals are no longer in my hands. I could no longer reach them. My heart sank in deep sadness because of the uncertain ratio of efforts and success.

You can give it your all, and you can still fail.
You can sweat it all with the efforts of your past achievements and still fail.

Our efforts are not in proportion to success. They are two uncertain ratios that will wake you up at 3 a.m. and get you sulking at the world. And those uncertain ratios sometimes become the bridge for you to see the world in a new light. Try another day and try and try until your goals become much closer to you.
