Writer

(I'm back on track, it really is Friday! And the right Friday at that!)

Writer. Hmmm, I'm not a writer, and yet here I am writing to you now. I love reading other people's writing and a good book is a gift. Equally a good blog.

But writing was never my strong point. I remember my Yer 3 teacher (the lovely Mr Burdus) telling me that my brain worked too fast for my hand to keep up, and that I missed out important words in sentences. I smile to myself when I now say that to parents of kids in my Year 3 class. I was more a mathematician than a writer though. I did like writing but I still struggle with higher level sentence openers, conjunctions, adverbial phrases (I admit I haven't got the first clue what they are...even now!), and all those other things I encourage my poor kids to put into their writing. I'd never get a Level 5 for writing.

But I do enjoy it. (And I know that I shouldn't start sentences with either 'but' or 'and'!). I've enjoyed writing this little blog. Five minutes is a challenge but it's a fun one. Thank you Lisa-Jo for starting it off and continuing to give a  prompt each Friday. I don't always manage it on the given Friday, but I do try to fill in the gaps.

Let me know what else I should write about. I'm willing to witter in my own inimitable style! I promise I make more sense in person....I think it's the hand waving, it clarifies everything!!
