I'm not that great at writing short stories (I usually don't finish them) but I am a poet. And oh, my poems can go off in weird directions, sometimes. Once I wanted to write a poem about mending books (something I do as a volunteer at a library), and instead it turned into a poem about books crumbling into dust! How weird is that??<BR/><BR/>I hope David achieves whatever dreams he has for his writing.Dancing With Feyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03493553137383118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-63754888831871456772009-03-27T20:08:00.000-04:002009-03-27T20:08:00.000-04:00Maybe you could work with him after school or at l...Maybe you could work with him after school or at lunch time. And Ditto what The Michael said.<BR/><BR/>And tell him not to worry about spelling and grammer. That is why the good goddess invented spell check and editors. Also the more you write (and read, reading is very important for good writing)the better you become at spelling & grammer. Trust me, I'm dislexic and had to learn all this the hard way.<BR/><BR/><BR/>~IllisseIllissenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12171673.post-89959598455591790962009-03-27T19:53:00.000-04:002009-03-27T19:53:00.000-04:00I wish someone had latched onto ME at a fresh, imp...I wish someone had latched onto ME at a fresh, impressionable young age and assured me that yes, I could write.
