One of the hardest things about writing for me, is the first sentence. I have a hard time thinking of something interesting that grabs people's attention quickly. Everything I think always sounds extremely boring or just stupid. I'm always worried that people won't want to read my writing because of this.
Another thing I'm not the best at is thesis statements. I never was truly able to grasp the concept of what one is. In high school whenever I would have a paper, I would go to my yearbook adviser and she would help me come up with one; doing it on my own seemed impossible. Now I'm stuck with the task of trying to figure out what a real thesis statement is; how to make complete sense of it.
Dani -- many good ideas here that I'll definitely incorporate into our craft lessons. Judging from your blog, I highly doubt you sound boring or stupid in your writing -- but being creative and still getting your point across is something we can work on. We'll conquer the thesis statement at some point :-)
