I've had dreams of writing for a long time and started out by visualising the story but never got to writing anything down. My head is full of stories, the hesitation to write things down is because you wonder if others will find your writing interesting. Anyway I started blogging in November last year and it's a great way of expressing creativy and honing my skills. Another skill that improves writing is reading!

I.e. In Amsterdam we're big fans of comparing; we speak in similes and metaphors in daily conversation. On the other hand if you get used to it, the risk of using it too often is bigger. In that case it'll start to look like rambling in writing, which offcourse will result in boring the HELL out of your readers. :) Anyhow, good point. Diving it to your followup articles right now!
