I had no problem at all conceiving of writing as “backward”—it was a quick, no-nonsense (for me, at least) way to capture the how-to’s of it. Maybe it did also help to have the dot configs in my head to begin with—I was always good at that. Being told that dots 1, 2 and 3 were on the first side of the cell, 4, 5, and 6 on the 2nd, however, would have driven me crazy, because of a mild math disability that makes it difficult to hold multiple mathematical concepts in my head without feeling all jumbled. I say, whatever works for the writer! I neglected to mention, in my last post, that, not only do you write left-to-right on that rolling slate, but you use the dot locations you would use if you were on a Perkins (in other words, for someone like me, writing forward; or, for others, dots 1-3 on the left, dots 4-6 on the right side of the cell, as is normal for non-slate-writing).

It’s this really great, fruity scent with elements of grape and maybe something else, but like a lot of fruity scents, I use it for spring, summer and early fall wear, when you want something cool and light. Kudzu is sweet but not cloyingly so. Go to the site, because it describes it much more articulately than I am able to here. Have fun—I warn you, though, you’ll get hungry looking over Lindy’s scent list—lots of fruit, spice and bakery scents, among all the regular perfumy scents, and she also carries lots of other fragranced products like bath stuff, wax melts, room sprays, etc. Just too much fun for a 50-something girl!!!
