Welcome to my blog.
I would like to start out with this first entry discussing my feelings about writing and how this has been a struggle for me since I can remember. Whenever I start to write or work on an assignment about writing, I would always self criticize what I just wrote by assuming what the reader would think about my paper or the fact that my grammar and vocabulary are insufficient to the graduate level. Professors over the years have written emails and privately mentioned about this problem and assume as an excuse that my "mother tongue" was not English. After hearing what they assumed, I was crushed and hurt by their comments as that was not true. However, I have tried multiple ways of fixing this issue by attending writer's workshops and obtaining help from teachers and classmates but I am still wondering why I still struggle now and then. In all, the point of this first entry is that I have never expressed my feelings through an online blog and I wanted to take this moment to share that with you. I truly believe this opportunity of expressing my feelings and experiences about technology with music education, would help strengthen my writing skills and benefit me in becoming an excellent writer.

What you wrote just now was clear, well-communicated and with good grammar. So, things may be changing for you. Perhaps write your entry in Microsoft Word just 'stream-of-consciousness' and then save it and come back and edit it a bit later. That might help. You might be restricting your flow--by being concerned about grammar and how what you are writing sounds like--then it feel unsurmountable to start and do. Don't crritique, just express. Then, edit.... I hope that this might be good feedback.
