Hi all! </div>
<div dir="ltr" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-align: left;">
I think this is a good topic too! I’m a college student and I live with my boyfriend. I personally don’t have time to sit down and write just poems or other creative works any more. In my every day life, I often write informally with emails, Facebook, text
messaging and so forth. When I’m in school, such as when the Hollidays are over, I write a lot more formal writing because my homework often requires it. True, I don’t get to write a lot of poetry in my homework, but I get a lot of practice on research papers.
Since I’m an aspiring science writer, being able to write research papers is a good skill to have anyway. Since I’m a busy college student, when I’m not doing homework, I practice writing via email with groups like this one. I have managed to find several
writing groups on Facebook. I even go for some of the English learning groups because they’re good for improving any writing weaknessis, such as my mis spelled word in this sentence. Since writing always calls for crateequing, that is, spotting mistakes in
the writing, they’re good resources to practice that skill. The writing groups are another place to practice it as well. Also, if you’re into poetry, there are many poetry groups on Facebook where you can write and admire poetry. For all you writers out there,
I personally wouldn’t ignore Facebook as a place to practice writing because it’s full of places to practice writing. Another place is this list. I joined this list a while back but when I discovered my gift in writing, I joined the Writer’s devition. I look
forward to it practically reforming and holding meetings at the NFB National Convention! In the mean time, this group along with the ones on Facebook, and my school’s writing resources, are my great options to get my work looked over and practice my own writing
skills.</div>

<div style="direction: ltr;">As the result of attending school, I discovered that writing is one of my gifts. On the other hand, I have eighth grade spelling. Because of my eighth grade spelling, I’m currently working on improving my spelling where it is possible.
Unfortunently, math is my biggest weakness. Because of my weakness of math, I’m going for an English major with an Environmental Science minor instead of an earth sciences major.

<div style="direction: ltr;">The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people
and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a good subject to share, I think.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I write every day, as much as possible, including email, personal, and creative projects. I read a lot, too; this helps me stay connected with the world. I read a few online literary magazines, too. Knowing the style and subjects
of current writing and authorly trends is also important to me to keep grounded in the craft.</p>
