Although I only scored 73 which makes me almost mentally backwards,I know quite well that I am intelligent but suppose I didn’t?It was very harmful when these were used at 11 plus.Some of the questions had in fact more than one answer and also they are not culture free.The one I did was very visual which was not a good one for me to do.I found it tiring.
And of you did one and got a low score,ignore it and follow your bent.If you want to write then write.If you do it every day you will get better.A friend of mine wrote three villanelles last week after I put a post on Facebook.She said it was like doing a jigsaw puzzle but, if she writes more, maybe she will find herself in the writing and it may not be just an exercise.She did two by will power but the third was inspiration so I imagine she could write more but she’s writing up some historical work and is behind on that.
I hope that anyone who’d like to draw or write will do it instead of watching some awful TV programmes which are repeated through the summer.Or grow plants,knit or bake bread.Let your mind roam free or muse over whatever is happening to you.
