I'm not a good writer. I have these thoughts bouncing around in my head, but when it comes time to write them, the words don't flow out like they should. When I go back to read what I've written, it's just a bunch of choppy sentences that don't mean anything.

My grammer and spelling is not bad. It's just some kind of blockage or maybe the thoughts and words go to some purgatory where they can't be retrieved. I just don't have the gift.

My husband writes long, beautiful flowing letters to the editor and wonderful informative posts to unknown people on message boards. I'm very envious of this.

I wonder if it would be helpful to take a creative writing course or journalism course? I can just imagine being thrown out of class for lack of creativity. LOL

I do keep a journal. I write down my thoughts everyday. I can't imagine anyone wanting to read what I've written, but you never know. A couple of years ago, my wonderful daughter-in-law bought a journal specifically for a grandmother to record information for her grandchildren to read at a later date. I filled it all in. It was easy because it asked for specific information about my life and experiences. It was quite enjoyable and made me think about things that had happened in my life. I haven't given it to them yet. Maybe I'll wait a few more years.
