Whatever comes from that processed thought and put to paper with pen or pencil or keypad. You do it right... From the heart, from the brain, from the experience. I like grammar, but the thought is most important. Keep up the good work, when you become famous, someone else can edit your grammar for print. Till then keep postin'.

I always think it's awesome when people take the initiative to learn something new or expand their skills.<BR/><BR/>But dude, you are a fantastic writer. You have such a great sense of what connects with readers, which is the whole point of writing. Within the small space of a post, you develop plot, bring us to care about characters, and make us reflect on our own lives. That's writing - GREAT writing. <BR/><BR/>I think Lisa Cullen saw some missed commas or one awkward sentence and made an assumption. For what it's worth, your grammar is impeccable in this post. <BR/><BR/>I'm not saying you won't learn something from the class, because there's always more to learn. But maybe you should amp up your goals a bit, because you are already WAY past "okay writer."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10922754.post-35161182738744638132009-02-27T11:41:00.000-05:002009-02-27T11:41:00.000-05:00Your writing is already creative!
