× I absolutely enjoy writing because it is more authentic and close to as a rather than typing, Although these days I depend more on typing, whether it's mail or texting.
✓ I absolutely enjoy writing because it is more authentic and closer to me than typing. Although these days I depend more on typing, whether it's email or texting.
The phrase 'close to as a' is incorrect; use 'closer to me than' to compare preferences (preposition + pronoun). Also 'mail' in this context should be 'email'. Suggestion: use 'closer to me than' for personal closeness and 'email' for electronic mail.
× I really enjoy writing for that matter of fact, and I usually journal at night.
✓ I really enjoy writing, and in fact I usually journal at night.
The phrase 'for that matter of fact' mixes expressions and is ungrammatical. Use 'in fact' or 'for that matter'. Also add a comma before the coordinating conjunction for clarity. Suggestion: choose a single idiom like 'in fact' and place it correctly.
× To be honest, I don't have a desktop so it's usually my mobile phone or laptops because it is more convenient than a traditional desktop as it is portable, easy to carry and handle so I love the flexibility it offers.
✓ To be honest, I don't have a desktop, so it's usually my mobile phone or laptop because they are more convenient than a traditional desktop: they are portable, easy to carry and handle, so I love the flexibility they offer.
'Mobile phone or laptops' mixes singular and plural; coordinate number. Also pronoun agreement: use 'they' for plural referents or make both singular. Use commas and colons for clarity. Suggestion: keep parallel number (phone or laptop) and match pronouns accordingly.
× Having said that, phone is something I usually type things texting or calling my friends so it is the thing.
✓ Having said that, the phone is what I usually use for texting or calling my friends, so I use it for most things.
Missing definite article before 'phone' and awkward pronoun/reference 'it is the thing'. Replace with 'the phone' and clearer phrasing 'the phone is what I usually use for...'. Suggestion: include articles and use clear referents.
× Well, I had been typing ever since I was a child.
✓ Well, I have been typing ever since I was a child.
Use present perfect continuous 'have been typing' to indicate an action that began in the past and continues to the present. Past perfect 'had been' is incorrect without a past reference point. Suggestion: use 'have been typing' for ongoing past-to-present actions.
× I had this beautiful desktop while growing up.
✓ I had a beautiful desktop while growing up.
'This' implies proximity; when referring to a past possession use 'a'. Suggestion: use 'a beautiful desktop' to describe a past object.
× Actually it was my dad's and I used to sneak in and do all my playful things around.
✓ Actually it belonged to my dad, and I used to sneak in and play with it.
'My dad's' is a possessive noun missing the noun; 'do all my playful things around' is awkward. Use 'belonged to my dad' and 'play with it' for clarity. Suggestion: express possession clearly and use natural verbs like 'play with'.
× So while I was 10, I was good at typing and that has really helped me during my university days.
✓ So when I was 10, I was good at typing, and that has really helped me during my university days.
Use 'when I was 10' rather than 'while I was 10'. 'While' typically needs a clause. Suggestion: use 'when' for age statements.
× To be honest, in the beginning I used to take a lot of time and I find it really difficult and time consuming.
✓ To be honest, in the beginning I used to take a lot of time, and I found it really difficult and time-consuming.
Mixing tenses: 'used to' refers to past, so follow with past tense 'found'. Also 'time consuming' as adjective should be hyphenated 'time-consuming'. Suggestion: maintain consistent past tense and hyphenate compound adjectives.
× However, over time it become really easy.
✓ However, over time it became really easy.
Verb tense: past tense 'became' is required to match 'over time' describing a past change. 'Become' is present; change to 'became'. Suggestion: use past tense for completed changes.
× Now I can type almost 150 words in a go and it's really easier than writing.
✓ Now I can type almost 150 words in one go, and it's much easier than writing.
'In a go' is nonstandard; use 'in one go'. 'Really easier' is awkward; use 'much easier'. Suggestion: use standard phrases 'in one go' and comparative adverb 'much'.
× Although I prefer writing over typing, it is really easy.
✓ Although I prefer writing to typing, typing is really easy.
Use 'prefer A to B' not 'prefer A over B' in formal English; also sentence is vague with 'it'—clarify referent as 'typing'. Suggestion: use 'prefer X to Y' and name the subject for clarity.
