That just proves what a twit this teacher was.<br /><br />I'm so sorry that sort of crap happened to you and has left you doubting your talents.<br /><br />And I stand by my previous comment, you ARE one of the best writers I know AND if you ever write a novel etc can I put my hand up for being your first customer.shishyboohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973095758897731929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572754717743284391.post-36935726425532936922007-01-29T00:30:00.000-08:002007-01-29T00:30:00.000-08:00Thank you all for your kind words and encouragemen...Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. I don't know what to say...but thanks, such thoughtful, surprising and much appreciated feedback.<br />Shishyboo and Tracey: Would you believe that I was even accused of plagerising a poem I wrote when I was 15 - it was called The Death Chant - yes it was THAT cheery - the teacher said that I was "simply not capable" of writing such a piece. <br />I was required to have my mum write a letter to the teacher stating that she believed I was indeed the poet.<br />It was quite frustrating - and after all that, I only got a B grade for it. It obviously wasn't THAT great!<br />I agree misc mum, some so-called experts, AND people in authority, can cause more damage than good.strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10277562911746970978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572754717743284391.post-12633403310929353072007-01-29T00:03:00.000-08:002007-01-29T00:03:00.000-08:00I reiterate what I said in my email - so called 'e...I reiterate what I said in my email - so called 'experts' often do more damage than good, in my opinionMiscellaneous-Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02553107673036472909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572754717743284391.post-2165720553385342392007-01-28T14:23:00.000-08:002007-01-28T14:23:00.000-08:00What a powerful blog!

I know that writing that went a long way towards feeling better, and I think I might check out that site. When I think about writing something, I can think of lots of things I'd like to say to the "old" me....maybe it would help. I know I carry around a lot of garbage that isn't always as buried as I'd like.
