XD

I got a kind of high from correcting when I first started out, but now, I try to write entries which are about about half the number of corrections I do.

Don’t worry if you don’t feel like writing posts, I got lazy for a while too. Keep a steady pace and post a short entry maybe once a week. G’luck!

It’s a good thing that those who help you don’t have the same attitude then.

its all 機会費用. spend time helping someone else or spend time bettering yourself. of course it will depend on the situation but in this one, id take the latter

I should really get myself started on writing Japanese entries but I’m not confident enough for that…

EDIT: Oh look, ironically enough two people were just talking about that.
