Why it is so hard to train your writing skills?
Well, I've decided to start practicing my writing skills. The problem is that I am not a writer. I struggle to find a decent topic and afraid to sound too artificial not in terms of language (because for a non-native it is natural to sound a bit unnatural) but in terms of the story plot. One of the possible solutions is to write what is on your mind. And that's actually how I came up with this note.
So, why is it so hard to train your writing skills? One of the biggest problems is that you don't know what to write about. Is it a good idea to share your life? Maybe it is OK to a certain level. Fiction stories are of course the best. Those allow you to explore your ability to use different grammar. But you will compare your work with the works of famous writers and that requires working on your attitude to it. Cause for me it is a kind of shame. Because I understand that my work is not good and I am forcing people to read it. May be my readers will wonder why I ever came to an idea to write this story.
It is also possible to write about something you are interested in. And that is a good thing to do because we all have some interesting information to share. It is also a great way to enrich your vocabulary. The only drawback I see here is inability to use some grammar constructions. Fictional texts are far more flexible in these terms. But, yay! No more sweating while thinking about that weird cringy story you just have written.
The third option is writing what is on your mind. Why not? At least that will help you to formulate the problem. And the correctly formulated problem is already half-solved. It is a double-win. Give it a try.

Can you see any grammatical mistakes? Is this text fine?
Listen up. I am going to tell you a little story about happiness and sadness, hope and despair. I hope you don't mind that non of the characters mentioned in this story ever existed.
This story has happened in the last century in a city called Nowhere. This city was pretty isolated from the rest of the word. You would probably tell me that it is nearly impossible nowadays to find a city which would be isolated from the rest of the world. Well, I respect your life experience but I have to assure you that this kind of cities still exists and it is not very rare. People of Nowhere lived pretty normal life they had Internet and cell phones. There was lots of shops in Nowhere so every resident of the city could buy food and clothes. Most of the people whom I had told this story argued with me. They usually replied that I had told them that the city of Nowhere was isolated but if it had Internet and phones it could not be recognised as an isolated city. "Well, it depends on how you define the word 'isolated'", am used to answer to them. The city of Nowhere was not surrounded by a wall, but by the strange coincidence all the residents were surrounded by a mental wall. If you were at there palace you would see why it is better to be surrounded with a wall, you would understand why all of this people decided to quit reality. You are going to say "Those people are crazy. Why are you telling me a story about crazy people?" and you would be wrong. I believe that we all are crazy. But we afraid to uncover our craziness, so it grows and grows until one day you understand that this craziness has grown huge. And you are starting to deny yourself instead of denying craziness. That is wonderful how little things can grow into a huge problems if you deny them. But I am not going to tell you about miracles which had happened to brains of the citizens of Nowhere.

Summer forest. Little story I wrote to remember some new words.
I was in a summer holidays. Summer was warm and I was happy to spend it in the forest in a nice cozy village resort. That was a shiny morning and I was planning a hiking trip to a green meadow called 'Dog's Tongue'. A trial to the meadow was quite dark and cool. Me and my friends made an arrangement to be ready for a trip at 2 o'clock. Neither my friends, nor me was good at orientating in the forest. But that never stopped us on our way to adventures. We had great spirit because there was no one to stop us. We were building huts of branches, doing crafts. But we were a bit scattered and that forest trip was a real trial. But that was not only a trial for our concentration, it was also a trial for our imagination. You know, television nowadays is so terrible. It scares people to encourage them to buy insurance products. Modern people used to be scared of everything. Burglaries, murders and mugging is on the TV 24/7. If you have home - you must be afraid of arson. If you have money you have to do something to save them. And we were afraid of people hiding in the woods. We never saw any people in this forest except us. Adults didn't like this part of it. It was dark and hard to walk through. So that was our forest and we were afraid of our own forest. That sounds strange but that was true. And that day we were going to the long trip without telling anyone. That was the most excited part of that trip. The trip was short, because we were afraid of been late for supper. We were running all the time. When we came back we were very hungry.

Strange song. I can't get it.
Here is a part of the song
'You’re missing where men with courage stand
Somehow you’re missing will you listen now?
I miss you overturning exec
Misuse of commander and chief signature
But now you’re doling out the dollars
But I would forgive you if you would be the change again
And I could support you if freedom rang aloud again'
What does 'overturning exec ' mean and is it linked with 'I miss you' somehow
'Misuse of commander and chief signature ' - don't understand
