		<description>Hey man, thanks for the praise. I&#039;ve been writing non-fiction everyday at work for over two years now, so that&#039;s helped me improve my writing a lot.

Let me put this post in perspective, since a couple of other people seem to like it. The first draft I wrote was so bad I threw it out. It was only a couple of months later, when a few other ideas converged in my head that I managed to start over and write a working draft. I edited that working draft for a good two weeks before I felt I was done with it and published it here.

So it took me more effort than it probably looks :)

If you&#039;re writing just for yourself, then you should write in whatever way you want and in whatever way that works for you &#8211; it&#039;s not a test, so don&#039;t sweat it. 

Hope that helps.</description>

		<description>I realised the difference between my writing and your writing.

Mine is totally bitchin&#039;, complaining and negative. Usually with no solutions, whatsoever.

Yours is critical, yet with facts and suggestions. Your point of view is clearly put across. (I guess being an ex-life coach does help)

Mine is clouded.

Haiz...guess I have a long way to go.</description>

		<description>Heya Don, nice to see you here.

The name &#039;21 Dragons&#039; doesn&#039;t mean anything really, just a combination of my birthday&#039;s date and a cool mythical beast - something simple and memorable.

I explain it here:

		<description>anyway, after taking a degree in comms, and constantly doing academic writing, my writing began to stink....

so in support of ur entry, I would say, &#039;If you are good in writing, you&#039;re good. If you stink (like me), you can take up a cert and pray that you will be good!&#039;

But...

Why the name &#039;21 Dragons&#039;?

I thought it was an online game when i clicked on it....haha</description>
