It's only now when I'm out of school that I wish I paid more close attention. Now I love learning as much as possible!<br /><br />nutschell, I have no problems at all with new followers! Yes English teachers are a special breed.<br /><br />Paul Joseph, thanks for taking the time to share your passion with me. I also vividly remember stories I'd written when I was still in primary school -they may still be somewhere at home in England. I've just always loved to write from as young as I can remember!Duncan D.

They would be delighted to know you are still writing.<br /><br />As a student, I loved writing essays and papers far more than taking tests - unless they were essay tests. It was my thing. Like you, I completed several on Pride & Prejudice.<br /><br />The root of my writing passion comes from my sixth grade teacher. We wrote "mini-novels" and I still have mine today. It's about fifty handwritten pages and I remember loving every second of the process. The best, however, is reading the feedback from my teacher. Her comments were encouraging, and she advised me to pursue the craft. Years later, I'm actually doing just that!Paul Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07219724579550337686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415847947845553634.post-72473841844843051092011-04-07T12:12:03.230+08:002011-04-07T12:12:03.230+08:00Thanks for visiting my blog Duncan.

It's a good idea for you to write alongside your class and it's great that you're able to. My memories of teaching involved a lot of policing of the less enthusiastic pupils. If I'd sat down to write I suspect there would have been trouble.Rosalind Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05363027308436257933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5415847947845553634.post-80286748684921637092011-04-06T21:13:11.087+08:002011-04-06T21:13:11.087+08:00Yay yay YAY!
