I suppose that makes me more modest than I care to give attention to

Hello, again!

Thought I'd share this one with you, and in some ways, it ties in with my previous blog from around a week or so ago.

Today was enrollment for my new college course, and after stupidly forgetting my GCSE results and having to bolt on home to get them, the one who was interviewing me was my old English tutor, Debbie, whom I haven't seen nor talked to in forever.

I can remember that the first time I met her when the course started, I decided to show how all of my prototype work and gave her a small display of what I was capable of. As to what it was that I presented to her, it was the ending scene to one of my stories that I wrote during an afternoon of boredom back in secondary school.

As a matter of fact, most afternoons at secondary school were spent by me writing in my book with all of my ideas that I wanted to try out some day, and some of them even made me become surprised.

Back to the main point, I know I am somewhat modest as a person in general, but the one thing I never really liked or thought I was good at was, of course, poetry.

Now, the scene that I wrote wasn't exactly written as poetry, but written in a similar fashion as poetry. I found it works perfectly for good story structure and makes things easier to read.

Debbie was talking with the teacher next to her and saying that she thought that my writing was pretty good, even saying that she found that I'm excellent at writing poetry.

Honestly, I don't think that much about myself, especially when it comes to poetry. But hey, if it was good enough for her, then that's good enough for me.

One of the few reasons I don't really believe in the positive comments people make on my work is because I can't really tell if there are sincere or just trying to be nice.

I mean, come on, most of the best things I came up with were written in a period of around twenty or so minutes.

Anyway, my thoughts are still pondering on that one, and that is for the audience to decide, including you.

Thanks for your time.

I have said this before, but, I do believe it won't do any harm to say it again mate.

I do believe, with what I've experienced with you, that you seem to be a natural when it comes to writing. And you're past experiences seem to point that out as well mate.

So I do wish you the best of luck in the future mate. Cheers!
