The Inaugral Post (Not much eh?)


 **WARNING REQUIRED NONSENSICAL BLOG PREAMBLE**

            So today I started my first day of Grade 12+, and as fate would have it I was lucky enough to be able to end off my day with the Writers Craft course. And as fate would have (albeit was not entirely unexpected) our lovely teacher Mrs. Reidel asked, after the creation of our personal blogs for the course, to check our the Course blog where she left us some day one questions. And here I was thinking I was going to get away from this scot-free.


            But like all homework it poses an age old question, so I guess I'll see to answering it (jokes of course, I am far too big a goody-two shoes for that). The question itself isn't all that difficult either. It's simply wondering "What is your intention for this course" and "What do you think writing skills could offer you". Not hard questions to say the least; you'd actually have to try and screw it up do get it wrong.

Actual answers:
             As for the answers: My intentions for the course are to firstly to work through some of the expanse of the ideas I have in my head and actually put them onto paper. Rather than simply run through them for the umpteenth time in my head so that I don't forget them. As well as to try and expand the tools I have in my writing tool kit, for personal and official/academic/generally prim and proper writing. When it comes to what writing skills could offer, that's a pile of possibility. On account of how necessary English and writing are related to the most basic parts of human interaction. So other than the typical improved grammar and quality of essay and things in that vein. I believe that writing skills could help me with communication skills, by working with different styles of writing with different nuances, I think that it could improve my ability to communicate verbally with peers and others.

Till next time,
