Against the Grain and LOVIN' It!

Verbs, nouns, adverbs, semicolon, and periods, Oh my! Five colleges courses overwhelm my days yet I added another, The Writer’s Workbench. Encouragement embraced the mind as I released the “old school” ways of punctuation; at last I can be ME (with a few restrictions). Long sentences I shall conquer, commas will flow, explanation is a point and the period will stop the length. Going against the grain is a style I can run with. I must admit the reassurance minimized further learning however the anticipation for next class session threatens my sleep.

Anticipation to play on words is delightful to my ears and musical rhythm of a paragraph sets the pace and space of many stories to tell. Word territory and its relevance to my writing is a fear I must overcome. Procrastination expels forgiveness in the territory of repeating words as “ly” adverbs take a back seat. Semester goals: welcome the additional course with open arms, utilize obscure words while making them clear in context will provide for special attention and gain writer’s reputation, be descriptive with the simple and remember God is the potter and I am the clay just as I am the writer and the story I will shape.

Although my expansion of learning did not include blueprints or useful habits, I flirted with the subtopics as if they were the next delectable meal. The engine is started and the narrative opportunity entices my appetite to reveal characteristic traits suitable for a good book and midnight snack. Interesting enough my oddness will grow as I seek unique names and cities while keeping to my roots of intended purpose; gaining fluency, flow and encouraging constructive criticism.

The night approaches morning, assignment deadline approaches and the responses are not yet complete so I will leave you with the  non applicable cliché “Curiosity Kills the Cat”.
