My writing style is very unique to me. English has never been my strong point! I write like I speak, always and ever
straight from my heart! I can write or
speak with ease about those things that I know about and understand, but
technical writing has never been a favorite of mine!
It all started back in 7th grade when I received
a “pink slip” in English! I KNEW I was
in HUGE trouble with my parents and especially my father! He actually went to school to talk to her. I was at home anticipating the licking I was
about to receive! When he came home, he
looked me directly in the eyes and said “DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT”! To this day I have no idea what transpired at
school but I am sure something happened!
All I know is that from that day forward I avoided English in school at
every opportunity! I have also wrote
papers and poetry, but when it came to tearing things done proper I scurried
away! When I got to college I HAD to take
several courses in order to graduate, which I of course put off until the last
possible moment! However, one of those instructors changed me on being scared
of writing! She was an ornery old cuss
who loved to argue and stir the pot, but for some reason she took a liking to
me! She said, “All you have to be is WHO
YOU ARE! WRITE FROM YOUR HEART and you
will never be wrong! You have a
beautiful gift of seeing truth where truth is hard to see, USE IT, SPEAK IT,
WRITE IT and you will never be wrong. We
can correct errors in usage but the gift is in the writing!” (Taken off an old
college paper dated 3/1985)
So if you are looking for PROPER GRAMMATICAL CORRECTNESS…. go
somewhere else! I am who I am! I will speak and write that which is in and
on my heart! Misspelled words, all sorts
of grammatical errs, and who knows what else…but I will always try to give you
my best and my heart!
