Own Worst Grammatical Issue
Spelling hands down is my biggest grammatical issue. I never have been very good at spelling since elementary school, and never worked on it. My main issue with this is my vocabulary is far more well rounded in comparison to my spelling. I can use a word but hardly spell it. Sometime the spelling is so wrong that spell check has no idea what I'm trying to type. A close second for grammatical issues is comma usage. I go with what i feel and that's hardly ever right.

vark questionnaire
My results were kinesthetic and close second was read/write. From what i found on the website they simply said learn by doing (kinesthetic). This does make sense for me because i do learn best from trial and error. However i also feel i learn well from demonstration, and asking specific questions from an instructor.

Thesis Statement
What does it take to write something, anything? What does it take to follow through with your idea and present it to scrutiny? I have had an interest in writing since junior high, but have never even completed a draft. Using this paper as a springboard, I intend to finally know the answers to these questions. This is my attempt at a professional writing process with the intent of submitting a short story for publishing.
