Spelling and Grammar

Sometimes spellcheck has no idea what I’m trying to write, forcing a google-search for a little help expressing what I mean. It’s obscene how terrible my spelling can be, but I do my best so my readers never have to see. Haunting me through school because I didn’t understand the rules. "GH" makes an "F" sound?

All-around it confused me to the extent I told a teacher flatly, “If someone pointed a gun to my head and told me to spell a big word, I’d be dead.”

My grammar however, is a trickier thing not so easily corrected. I can’t help that my brain doesn’t pause on any given train of thought. Thus no inclination to throw in a comma whilst I rant about my momma.

That was a cheap rhyme for amusement within the serious topic. Myopic understanding at best, relying on computer programs and memorization for the rest. I’d apologize, but I've come to realize the writing is more about the message than the execution-- though brilliance in both can start a revolution.

As for my strengths.... uh... you tell me? Really, if I had to name any I'd just say "creativity" though it's been tough as of late.
