Everyone's first efforts are going to be worse than their later efforts. What
to do about it? Just keep working at it, reading this list and asking
questions. Gradually you will get better at it.

Sense I am really basically a newby, in that,
I haven't been
doing this very long,
I really know little about nothing
it hasn't worked as I would have hoped, in that,
when I set out to do a thing accomplish something, learn something,
I want to do well, feel like I'm making progress in said thing.
I don't know it well, nor do
it well, but scanning is something I have done before, so it's not so much
unknown,
I had thought I'd just proof read sense I'm having so much trouble scanning
well,
but it makes no sense to me that thing I read,
let's put it this way,
I'm a few fries short of a happy meal in smartness, where some can catch on
well, and just pick up on anything
I cannot.
I have to write everything down in steps when I learn the steps I'm fine.
But what most of y'all know,
I don't.
Sense I've never seen a book
I never paid attention to pages numbers.
I know in Braille the left page numbers were on the upper left and the odd
number pages were on the bottom right,
but kurtzweil just mixes me up.
Except for finishing a sentence,
or a thought I have no earthly idea whether I've skipped a page or not I
hit my page up page down but I found out that is wrong,
so I couldn't proof read,
I can take carrots and astrics and titles and author things out stuff like
that
and I saw a book I tried to read on this site,
I finally had to give it up,
because
it sounded jumpy when it was reading so I wanted to find out why,
and I found out,
like in almost every paragraph there were words like this split,
de-
cide
may-
be
doc
tor
now I can fix things like that
I understand that.
I came on board hoping I could help
but so far,
I have not lived upto my nor certainly your expections,
and it makes me well,
sad, mad? discouraged, discusted?
Am I by myself, has or does anybody else ever have or go through this stuff
when you were new or whatever, and what in the world did you do about it?
This has been a silly email and rambling sorry won't take up any more of your
time thanks.
