Why is Writing boring Writing is boring because you have to use too much punctuation and words. It tires your hands when you could just say it into a microphone. When you are writing you either have to write on paper which makes your hands sore and when you are typing your fingers have to go all over the keyboard which gives your fingers a workout which it does not need. I would rather read than write because you have to read words not write them, writing is too much work. Because it’s too much effort to write words because writing takes longer than reading! Because you have to think too much about what your gonna write! The process is too boring and you have to find evidence to back up what you are saying! Also you have to recraft and edit and copy and paste too many things!    This is my writing about why writing is boring hope you enjoy this thing

Constable Elliot urged motorists to slow down when driving, in particular near schools. “Remember people, the kids are going to be out and about walking and biking and crossing roads. “Like me they are small and unpredictable so you have to watch out.”

Dogs in India are turning blue, dogs in india are turning blue because of the river! Somehow dye has been transferred into rivers! Why are the dogs going in rivers? They're going in rivers because they are strays, strays are dogs that don't have an owner or a home so they don't have food or water so they go in the river to look for food and water!!   Arati Chauhan, the head of the Navi Mumbai Animal Protection Cell, posted pictures of the dogs who had been dyed blue! A complaint has been laid with the Maharashtra pollution control board, which said the dogs that turned blue had gone into the river near the site of a company that used blue dye for a range of purposes.

Why Is Slime Addictive? It’s  Addictive because it's slimy, sticky and you can roll it up into any shape! How does slime work? Slime works by adding different combinations of  glue and stuff like that! Different people make slime different ways. All the times i have made slime I have failed but one time I made it work I used invisible glue and other ingredients I can’t say what they are! I have also noticed that if you make slime with PVA glue it doesn't work,
