Sometimes I wonder at my impurity. Looks like I'm setting myself a challenge, it's cool... And I completely forget about it!? I've already told you about some of my writing challenges, but I haven't told you exactly how I felt on those days.
Although I have no idea which test was this one, here I am, sharing from a notebook in Excel .docx format.
P.S. I didn't like this method of taking notes. It's too hard to look for the file in the evening, to take notes... And so on.
| The Day | Words written | Words corrected | What was written? | What has been corrected? | Feelings and comments? |
