I always say that before we can write we need to have something to write about, and hopefully this blog will help you with that first step. Remember, everyone can write but writing effectively is a skill that improves with practice. To use this blog as a resource you will need to hunt for ideas that appeal to you and contribute your own say. This blog will deal with a variety of topics from different disciplines related to English and will work with pictures, text and even videos. Happy hunting!
