First attempt at writing

First attempt at writing

Back when I was in school I hated grammar. Correct punctuation, and structure were my worst enemies, and still are. I still cant tell you what a verb is, dont bother to tell me I'll forget in an hour. Yet I look forward to trying my hand at writing. I greatly look forward to the oppurtunity to learn! Please forgive the sloppiness of my writing I hope you can understand. I have my G.E.D. but my formal education ended in the eighth. Spell checker programs, and writing programs on the computer baffle me. I have no clue how to put an indention for a paragraph, and am hoping it is automatic like xomba seems to be telling me under this field (If so hows it going to know where I want them). I do think that this will be a great experiance for me though. What a wonderful idea to give people the oppurtunity to share thier thoughts and ideas and get paid for it. I hope that everybody will comment on this; good, bad, or ugly Id like to hear what people think. Also advice on techniue or style would be appreciated, as I am here not for the money but to learn. After all shouldnt that be everybodys main goal here?

Hey, everyone has to start somewhere!

Like you dislike grammar, I don't like complex Math but I'm getting better at it since I work with it everyday. There's a website called Grammar Girl that is helpful with grammar tips. Trust your spell check too. On Xomba, you'll find writers who uphold really high standards for writing, AND, they are also some of the nicest people I know. Write everyday...everyone has a story or two in them. :) Peace, Mia NW
