Finale

So, this has to be the end of my small blog. There were many things I learned by writing about Bastien Winterfield. The first thing I learned was simply how hard it is to write fictional stories. The reason why it is so hard is quite simple: Writing needs forethought, and careful planning in order to drive the writing forward. By the time I was writing my second chapter, my enthusiasm for my character had died, and I simply had nothing to write about, because I have never planned ahead. In fact, the last chapter was nothing but filler, using simple symbolism to indicate that I had ran out of ideas on what to write. After re-reading my entries, I can't believe how hastily I wrote my stories. It is simply surprising how many grammatical errors I had in my writing. These needless errors made me look as if I was uneducated, and I was terribly ashamed of the sheer low quality of my writing. Again, these problems all indicated to my biggest problem: I was unorganized. Without proper organization and forethought, I had only my immediate impulses at my command. I plan to learn from all of these mistakes, and hopefully become a much better writer after more practice on my writing skills. Perhaps, when I do have the adequate fore thought, planning, and ideas, I might rewrite my stories, since my ideas are sound.

Anyways, for anyone who actually liked the first chapter of Bastien Winterfield, I am terribly sorry for the increasing inferiority of the story.
