I wrote the diary in English, however, I did not make progress until I read William Strunk Jr."s "The Elements of Style." (ref. 1). I figured out that the above sentence came with an error, called "a comma splice" or "run-on." Since then, I have never made the same mistake again.
My conviction was, don't be too tight about your ideas. Be open to both ideas and criticism. If you're not making mistakes, you're not pushing yourself or stretching.
