Grammar

Reading my own blog reminds me of my rambling trains of though, my poor grammar and my rubbish writing style. I really am, literally just getting stuff down as best I can and for the time being, that is going to have to do.

No wonder I haven't written that book yet, I'd need a "ghost" writer to do it for me.

I left school at the age of 15 with a U for O'level English language and literature and have never quite recovered what I didn't learn.

My experience of school was so traumatic, I didn't go anywhere near anything like an education, training course or any form of learning for another 20 years.

Hey, no one with any sense learns anything at school - me included. University was where I began learning - it changed my life, and I have no idea how on earth I got in.

Getting stuff down is enough. You can always go back and edit to make it prettier.

Oh, and the point of blogging? Initially, I thought it was just about writing, but now, I think it has a social function - we meet like-minded individuals and we get to read their thoughts. It has been an enriching journey for me.

You can discern what's worth reading. That's more than most can do. ;)
