Expletive Construction

[Expletive construction--"there is," "there are," "there was," "there were," "it is," or "it was" are phrases that mean nothing. Unless "there" or "it" is a place or a thing, the composition will be much more concise if rewritten to eliminate such phrases.]

Apparently I do not write well. Microsoft Word tells me I have poor grammar and the "Excellence in Writing" document checker located on my online school also has the same opinion of my writing. I know I do not have the best writing skills. The ideas are in my head but getting them down on paper properly is a challenge to me.

My wife is always correcting my writing. Don't blame her; must be embarrassing. My only hope is that with practice I will get better. We'll see, now won't we?

I have two papers to write this week, due Sunday. Have I started them? No.

I am not a writer. I'd love to be one, but I ain't. So, to all three of my readers: Sorry.
