writing skills

I have never been a good writer, and I don`t ever see myself ever being the one in a class that the teacher points out. Who ever decided to make up this hook, and this thesis rule was just trying to make life difficult for everyone else. Why a thesis, why can`t you sum up your thoughts in more than one sentence. It just doesnt make sence. I clearly do not do well with the thesis. I also can not start my sentences with varieties. He, she, them, they, the, those are the things that I start my sentences with. Another thing that I have problems with it simply starting a paper, once I get started I can usually handle it, but I always need someone to give me an idea or to push me through that beginning step. This has been a problem for me not only since freshman year, but my whole life. I don`t know where to start, ever. It makes me so frustrated because I don`t know how I am going to succeed in college without my mom there to push me through that one step. I think english would be ten times better if we just cut the whole writing thing out of the picture. Just my opinion.

This is the quote that sums up my writing abilities; I'm not a very good writer, but I'm an excellent rewriter. ~James Michener
