Writing for a purpose

[wendyzski]

As opposed to the randomized babbling I do on here...

I have started writing for the Red Door Shelter's blog 'Behind The Red Door', and my first entry went live this morning.  It's about my former foster-buns the FraidyTwins, aka The Amazing Color-Changing Bunnies.

My mum (who should have been some sort of engineer!) only finally understood why I have spelling difficulties when I told her that I am unaware of words on the page when I read. I see it all as pictures in my head, like watching a film from the inside. I even see technical stuff like this. I'm only aware of words when I get tired, and shortly after that they start delaminating from the page in lines and float about like ribbons, getting crossed and tangled.

I'm very much a visual learner and thinker. Monkey see, monkey do. Read a list of instructions? Not so useful. See it happening or see pictures? Great! When planning things I drag pictures together and make spider diagrams/mind maps. While I do make lists of things to do, they are not so helpful as a spider diagram of the same tasks. Lists are for sending Himself shopping!
