hi,
when i start writing i hardly think of editing or mistakes. its so hard for 
me to write a rough draft first or an outline and then write. i never can do 
that although many people recommended this to me. but i love to write 
whenever i can and i don't pay much attention to editing. i wrote some 
poetry long time ago, probably when i  was a kid, and now when i  read it, 
it feels  so stupid. i can't believe i wrote this. so i through that away 
and try to capture same thinking in better way.
is anyone going to national convention of nfb?
hina.
