Yet Another Weblog (IV) or the Secrets of My Weblog

"A secret?," you may ask yourself, "is there anything mysterious in this new weblog?".
Answer: Yes!

I have a secret that I want to share with you. Actually it is not just a secret. There are several, though I confess that none of them is a big deal - probably at least for you.

1-I am not a native English speaker. I want to write this blog in order to improve my English writing skill. I do not mean those technical type of writings, which I am involved in them anyway, but the kind that people use when they want to write diaries, stories, novels, and so on.

Also having a place to write in English encourages me to read more in English. I am a fan of novels and short stories, but I've read almost all of them in my mother language. However, from now on it is better for me to study literature in English, because:

a) All novels and stories have not translated to my native language
b) In my current place, I have a better access to English literature comparing to my own language
c) Reading stuff in the original language is more fun than reading the translation.

2-This is not the first time I started a blog. I managed a one in my mother tongue for several years, and even I had two other English blogs. The first one is a popular blog for its own!

3-I decided to write anonymously here. I just want to write about anything I wish without thinking whether this may hurt someone or not. I may change my mind later, but now, this is the case!

Usually I was not used to ask anybody to give me a link or write a comment: if they want, they will do, if not, who cares! However, everything is different right now. I would be happy if you put a comment for me, indicate my English mistakes, help me write more "like" a native English writer, and give your opinions about my posts. Also I would be happy if you give me a link since I would get more reader, which means more comments and more feedback, which encourage me to write more and learn more, and etc!
Finally, I hope that this blog be useful for you in some sense! I don't really know how!

Personally, my writing got better after I started writing short stories and non-technical pieces. Your reasons for writing an english blog are great.
