mydiamond Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) I had enough with the number of irresponsible husky owners I met and decided to write my very first article about this lovely breed in a large (when I say "large" I mean it!) online Indonesian forum that is part pets-for-sale website. I wrote a super long article that covers everything from shedding to digestive issues and added that no matter what breed they're planning to get they HAVE to do research beforehand >_< then, I hit "create thread". And I ran away .____. some of you knows that I have this weird phobia that makes me so terrified of voicing opinions to people I don't know well... Right? And as I mentioned in my old thread, the anxiety includes online communication as well. I was so terrified of returning to the forum but I forced myself and when I came back..... My article is pinned at the site's home page with this large nice banner and a glowing "NEW!!" text underneath it I clicked it and even if there're no comments I found that my article has been shared on Facebook 5 times, tweeted (I think that's the word) on Twitter 3 times, and received 3 likes from Facebook :eek: oh gosh!! I did something for my favorite breed! EEEEK!!! I don't know how to react other than trembling in either nervousness or excitement LOL! It's also another step towards overcoming my stupid phobia YAY ME! EDIT: and I posted a link to this site when I'm trying to show how destructive they can be if left alone without anything to do.

mydiamond Posted August 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I can't link it here because the "forum" is part pets-for-sale website and any links directing to animals with fees are restricted in H-O besides, the article is Indonesian but thanks for your kind words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I can't link it here because the "forum" is part pets-for-sale website and any links directing to animals with fees are restricted in H-O besides, the article is Indonesian but thanks for your kind words I was chuckling when people started asking for links since I assumed it would not be in English Excellent that you took the effort to do two things at once. Obviously the first was to write it even in the face of the fear of rejection. That takes a lot if intestinal fortitude ( er, guts! ) and says a lot about the "backbone" you have - on that point, again, excellent!!! That you wrote about something that your adamant about, Husky's, makes it easier - writing about something you know well and love will come through in the article ( and apparently has! ) If you an figure out how, give yourself a great big hug for that!! Now, your challenge for the day - this is called English practice - how about giving us a translation?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course you don't have to, love - I've seen your English improve remarkably in the year that I've been here. You've gone from formal to a very laid back colloquial ( and colloquial English is a REAL bear ) but you sometimes slip - your use of many where it should have been much in your last sentence, as an example. Since the article you wrote should be more formal, a translation for us should be good practice for you. But of course you don't have to ....
