A Note on Change

Hello people, how are you guys doing?
Recently one of my close friends read this blog and as is customary between us he reviewed it. It’s a very important thing to do because there are those of us who are just too damn busy to review some damn blog and those of us who just don’t give a rats ass about it as long as it gives us a few laughs. So it is very important for a blogger to get proper views on his/her blog so that he/she can improve it.
For your reference, here is the review He posted:
Content: 4/5
Writing: 3/5
Humor: 3/5
Overall: 3/5

Ok, so here it goes finally. :p
Well, the reason I didn't send a review initially was because it was too early to be a critic. Firstly, I'm not a world famous blogger and secondly, blogs are like movies. They can start bad, and turn good or vice-versa. Now I will provide my inputs on the blog, but I have to know; what do you see yourself doing with this blog? Is there an ulterior motive to your blogging? Personal space, commercial value etc. etc.?

Your initial posts were quite boring, don't get me wrong, your source of material is good aka the content. But where you disappoint is the writing style. See, calling everyone a retard and an idiot doesn't make do. I know its a satirical blog, even I have the same undercurrent in my blog. People are dumb, period, but its these same people who are going to follow your blog, a majority at least, so well, hint at their stupidity, but in a subtle way. They should think you're writing about the person next door, not them specifically. So well, just calling everyone a retard and an idiot on every post doesn't do. It also causes the humor quotient to go bland. Its like "oh, shiva will write about this good topic, but he ll just go calling every one retarded or an idiot and that will be that". The art of dissing is when the opposite party doesn't know what's going to hit them.
Now for the main thing, you have to, have to improve on your language and writing skill. Thank god you don't use internet slang, but even otherwise, try to brush up on it. If you are writing for kelkarites and thaneites, then you are like Salman Rushdie. But otherwise no, improvement is must. Trust me, your blog will read even better which an improved writing style. Every post of yours I find at least one or two typos. I know you typed, I don't care about it and fuck you and offense meant and stuff. But these thing's are important for a good writer. I proof read 3-4 times and even then I get typos here and there. So in general, work upon your language, word build up, punctuation (very important). You can't just type..... like this... with dots.... used as separators...every... now...and then.... we are not chatting...... its blogging.

Otherwise, in general, the blog is great, and I really liked your content use, but improve upon the humor... just saying moron, idiot, flea infested baboon's butt, hairy balls etc. doesn't cut it. And work on the writing style. Also, for a computer genius as yourself, the blog looks pretty plain - try working on that. So well, I hope this helps...

Well that’s the review, and as for the suggestions I am going to try and implement them.
These are the changes in a Point format,
1. Improved Language
2. Improved Content
3. Improved Layout
4. Improved Writing Style

Note: Guys, it would be nice if you could post your own reviews once in a while, for starters it will improve your own experience on this blog and secondly it will inform me about what I should do to become a better writer.

  2. You know, I happen to know a thing or two about writing. The review is an excellent one but unfortunately a little misplaced. This is YOUR blog, YOUR little place to express, in whatever way you wish too. You are not writing an editorial for a leading daily. The review would have been perfect in that case. You have got to let loose when it comes to writing here whether or not you have followers and appreciation. Of course the one thing which has been mentioned in the review that i would second is the recommended use of subtlety especially during the expression of negative thoughts. The humour qoutient is bound to improve eventually as you, the writer begin to understand that humour is not always what is said, rather , it is what is understood. All that said and done the bottomline is, reviews and critiques are good as far as they are viewed subjectively and not objectively as that carries with it the peril of curbing your natural thought flow eventually leading to a very mundane read.
