Free writing about “This
I Believe”
So we are supposed to pick one of our this I believe
statements to expound on for ten minutes without stopping in a freewrite. This
is going to be difficult for me but I choose the statement “I believe that

be a very coreect speller. Speller? Is that a word? Back to subject.
Handwriting. It is actually much easier to read into a person if they write

the ins and outs of the different nuances of a persons writing. This is a
difficult assignment. It’s hard to expound much more on this subject, but I
have to continue typing without stopping until the timer goes off. I don’t know
how much time is left because my phone has went blank. I hope it goes off soon.
SO, pencil and paper versus typing. Also I’m not that fast at typing. It feels
that my thoughts tend to flow more readily if I’m using a pencil and paper…
Maybe it’s just me b……
