Korossol into the Ring 30

Wow. The 30 Days Language Challenge has ended. Finally. I thought I would die.
Dont misanderstand me: I had a lot of fun, learned a lot and met nice people who bravely read through my mistakes. It was good!
But I overestimed myself. I shouldn't have took a challenge so soon. I just signed-in, I didn't even understand how the site worked. I also had other obligations that took a lot of my time and more work everyday just didn't cut in. That was bad.
Writing in English is difficult for me. As I'm french and on this site, you had probably guessed it. The idea behing Langcorrect seemed sound. It actually helped me tremendously. But it IS work. I have to push myself everyday to do it. It's actually harder to write about mundane things than writing stories. I didnt know that. But I could write 250 words a day in English, as long as I tried hard.
The problem was that I was already writing 1400 words in French by day, working on my short-story and editing older texts for publication. I was also working. And having a life. It was hard and I'm very tired. My eyes burn.
The writing was not so difficult, but it was hard to find the time and the courage to correct others stories and to read my corrections. I realized I could do one but not both.
I think that in the future, I will write on this site every other day. I hope this means: "I wrote yesterday, I won't today, maybe tomorrow." Sorry, I find that idiom very confusing. I will write one day and correct the day after.
Maybe I will take a free week before...

I have to push myself everyday to do it.


I have to push myself every day to do it. I have to push myself every day to do it.

Very common error; "everyday" is an adjective meaning "ordinary, commonplace", and isn't technically correct to use when you're saying something occurs every day.

It's actually harder to write about mundane things than writing stories.


It's actually harder to write about mundane things than to writinge stories. It's actually harder to write about mundane things than to write stories.

Infinitive for both or gerund for both here. "Writing about mundane things is actually harder than writing stories."
