Substandard posts.

I have not checked on the three posts I wrote last night. I am apprehensive to check on the responses. I do feel that the last three posts were poorly made As it is, I will not delete nor edit any, to serve as a reminder for me not to write in haste. Reason being, I was so sleepy. I could barely open my eyes. But I was excited to post because finally, I have learned how to make a collage in my cellphone. I would like to apologize anyway, because no one deserves to read poor literature. The responsibility is in the writer. So I own my shame.

Mylot is not about literature. And surely there are worse than what you wrote. I think you are apologising to yourself more coz you set the standard for that and not mylot.

Every piece of writing is literature. Even the graffiti on the wall. Literature is the significant human experience put in writing. That is why we must be careful about what we write. Mylot is a site whose writers tell mostly about their significant human experiences, Therefore, this site is about literature. I do not dwell on the worse writing other people wrote but I encourage every one to write well. Every one gets better with practice, As for my self, I write to tell others a story. As in checking my words before I speak, I also check my words before I write. It is not self gratification but wanting to impart someone about something each day. I owe it to my fellow man to impart to them the knowledge I have, or I would have failed in doubling the talent our God has given me. I apologized for not rendering better writing, One day, when future generations read up what we wrote here, those three posts might come up half-heartedly written. My name is the byline.

@toniganzon You are welcome. Your conclusion though is not quite logical. The specially pestering and annoying messages are spams. In today's lingo, these spams further developed into what they call fake news. The term, by itself, is already faulty. Ergo, the spammers you refer to are not great at literature. Literature entails truth.

@eileenleyva Thanks for the lecture. That means the spammers here must be great at literature.

Mr. American, I was educated with hardbound books entitled Vistas and Cavalcades in grade school I do negate your line about Americans loving poor literature. Hiawatha and Evangeline, Tom Sawyer and Huckelberry Finn are some of the best tales and stories I;ve read written by Americans. Right here on mylot are some of the best blog writers I;ve come to read in the internet age. Please, let us rally one another for good jokes if we can. That is the way to counter the Trumpster malady. Let us work for a more decent world. Enough of the fake and the false. There is so much goodness to write about. Here's to all of us who can make the long desired difference, in a way we can matter. Writing the best we can.

a lot of mylotters edit their posts when they notice it, or members mention it. so just edit it, no need to delete it. this is not, and has never been, an article writing site. there is no style guide to be followed, and posts are published without staff checking it first. congrats on learning how to make a collage on your phone. any tech milestone excites me, too.

Oh, thank you. Actually, a classmate came home from Chicago and we had lunch together. She tinkered with her cell and I watched her post pictures of us with rabbit ears. Ha ha. So, the cellphone has all those features although these vary in every android I think,. In mine, I can make a collage. And I did. I was so engrossed with the collage that my mind was kept off the text. I wanted to post as fast, and I wrote the first things that came to my sleepy mind. My mentor Fr. Joseph Galdon, SJ, taught us never to write in haste. May he rest in peace. This student just disobeyed him. Oh, he loves me enough that he will forgive me.

Thank you, Bhem. Perhaps it was just a dissatisfaction resulting from the day's hectic activity and consequent exhaustion. I have gone through the posts a few moments ago. I was just glad I did not blab. Thanks again.

I live by the motto a mistake is only a mistake if you refuse to correct it! No clue what you wrote but good luck on future posts!

I will adapt your strange motto. Ha ha. It's the first time i've read of line to live by. Very good line. Mistakes must be corrected. No mistake on my posts, just lacking in theme and devoid of the necessary story people find worth reading. Thank you. I will write more meaningful posts.

That's a wonderful encouragement, thank you. I did censure my self, but yes, flaws come every now and then. Just glad mine are not as bad.
