I hope you enjoy these blogs. They are pretty much "speed writing" off the top of my head. (Forgive me, teachers!) There's no set schedule for these blogs. One a day? One a week? Who knows. Following each blog are five numbers in [brackets]. Those five numbers are: Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, Flesch Reading Ease, Passive Sentences, Words per Sentence, Words. Each blog varies in length, but I shoot for about 150 words. (I miss a lot!) The black number following each title below is the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level (0.1→9.9 = easiest→hardest; see Wikipedia or Readability-Score).
