What I Think And Feel Towards Writing In English

How long do we need in order to become a good writer?

I started writing since elementary. I had written on my diary almost every day and I felt it was fun because I was using my first language at that time. But after I got into my high school, there was no diary to write in a vernacular language only a writing assignment was given almost every grading and we call it "Theme Writing". How do I really feel about writing in English? Honestly speaking, when we had to learn everything about grammar in English, I started to hate writing. Writing in my first language does bring joy and writing in English made me feels incompetent. On the other hand, the reason why I don't like writing much is when some teachers give bad topics to students to write about. On my point of view, it's better if they give an interesting topic that can motivate students to write. To be honest, I still feel uncomfortable writing in English because I have much more to learn. Now that I'm in my second semester in IIT, I began to have less trouble expressing what I think and feel, thus the hatred toward writing diminished little by little. However, the English class (A3-2) was not as bad as I thought because the writing topic is not boring and I have also given the privilege to blog this. I hope, at the end of semester I will improve not only my writing skill but my confidence of writing as well. And to answer the question: How long do we need in order to become a good writer? For me, the only way to get better is to practice writing all the time using of course English. We need to put the time and effort in to be able to get anything out of it. Above all, don't give up on writing because this will lead you to the road of success.
