Before joining the wonderful world of online writing I enrolled in a writing course.I was so excited as I received the large package.
I opened it and vowed that this was it!!!
No turning back!!!
There were true winners from this course but I would be the greatest!!!
I submitted my first assignment and the following comments were great;with great gusto I submitted my second assignment but let's say there were a few constructive criticisms in the returning comments this time.
How dare they??
No-one was going to tell me what and how to write!!!
I could write !!End of!!!
I didn't need to use the spellcheck on my computer as my spelling was awesome.
So again how dare they point out all the errors!!The computer was new to me and I knew nothing of 'typos.'
With great emphasis I put the offending and insulting course away ;far enough away so that I didn't have to keep seeing it every day!!!(but I didn't throw it in the rubbish bin!!!)
However there is no time limit on this writing course and I am now much more realistic in my reasoning;and I am going to begin again!!
This time taking constructive criticism and also using that spellcheck!!
I will not lose my writer's voice but we are never too clever or too old to learn !!!
I hope you all enjoy the following poem.
Maybe an ebook will be born from my endeavours!!
We shall see!!!

I said I didn't need a writing course
I thought I knew it all.
I should have remembered that well known phrase
Pride comes before a fall!!!
x
No one could tell me what to do
I was up there with the best.
Burns,Shakespeare and Wordsworth
Some truth comes from jest.
x
What was the spellcheck on this machine
Not needed by her at all.
Yet again I have to remember
Pride comes before a fall.
x
I submitted that first assignment
They would be so amazed.
But when I read the comment
The words I swiftly erased!!!
x
The manuscript full of typos
More than they'd ever seen.
How dare they tell me this
In writing I was the Queen!!
x
But slowly and surely I mellowed
And realised I have much to learn
And learnt to take constructive criticism
No matter just how stern!!!
x
So today I have simply mellowed
And vow to begin again.
I am now in the land of the realistic
And have learnt to count to ten!!!!
