Writing: Some things you know, other things you must
Well! The first week of my writing is course complete and I am pleased with how it went. Learned some things of course and discovered others.
The most interesting thing I discovered was I already knew some things. But not things I’d been taught. Things I just knew. Things about grammar. Obviously from many years of reading I’d absorbed some rules of grammar without ever having to be taught.
This is important. I can never be a writer if I have to constantly think about paragraph length, sentence structure, passive voice and so on. I need to learn them to the point they become intuitive. And - as I discovered - that is possible. And that’s a relief!
Of course this applies to every endeavour, but still, it was my moment of insight this week.
