I used to write three short stories a day. I forced myself. And I have been looking at them, and see words that I kept spelling wrong over and over. Words I know I know how to spell. Simple words. And I don't know why. I spell more simple words wrong than I do hard words. I guess it's because I doublecheck the words that intimidate me. Intimidate, I don't know if I got that one.
Sometimes I look at things I've written, and it's not the word at all. It don't look or sound like it. : Example: I was walking to the store the other day, and got so tired I saw down on the sidewalk. : No that's not a good example. It's words that don't even have the same letters.
And then there are is, little things like that. There's five people in this room. That's the way I talk. But it sneaks into my writing. . . . I do think it's ok, OK, okay, because language is a funny thing. There are reasons for these strict rules. I break them all the time. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes not. . . . But.
