I remember back in high school and my under-graduation days (when I last ‘studied’ English as a language) I used to wonder what the point of actually ‘understanding’ the various layers of interpretation of the various classic tales such as Macbeth and various other Shakespearean plays was. Back then, none of these stories made for interesting reading and I was more into mainstream young adult fiction such as the staple fare of Enid Blyton, The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators and later on Alistair MacLean and the like.
I don’t distinctly remember when but I guess it had to do with the fact that my initial few blog posts when I started the blog garnered quite a few comments and regular readers. Funnily enough the audience was not necessarily the intended one, but nevertheless the more I wrote in those days, the more I gathered confidence in my words. As the post count kept increasing, so did my confidence in its stature.
That being said, I will be the first person to say that I have miles to go before I can confidently say that I am a ‘good writer’ in every sense of the term. And until such a point, I solemnly promise myself to keep trying to improve with each and every post of mine.

This post has been written for Project 365: A post a day where the intention is to publish at least one post a day based on the prompts provided. Today’s prompt was to answer the question as to whether I was good at what I do and what I would like to be better at. I chose my writing as the topic to write a post for this prompt.
