Here is what I want to say: After 16 years in a English speaking country, I don't feel articulate. But that's hardly the point. What I want to say always gets muddled with words I didn't intend to write.

I started a blog because I believed the only way to learn to write well was by writing. After 8 years, I still struggle communicating my ideas properly, effectively and quickly enough. Yet, every blog I read the authors seems to have mastered communication. But then sometimes, something I write becomes popular. I received emails or praise about my writing style. Some will say that "no one could have said it better".

If you and I don't feel as articulate, it's because we are the authors. Our ideas change, evolve, and improve. Everything you put down becomes an older version of your thoughts. No matter how good it was, the present you have learned something new to add. I wish I could write well, but even if I did, I'd look back at what I wrote in the past and still say "I wish I could write well".

You have to think critically about yourself to improve. As you improve you find more to criticise.

I remember one full time ski instructor telling me they thought they had skied three good turns that season!

If you were to ask the world champion at golf or tennis how they felt about their form, they would be able to write a treatise on all the mistakes they made.
