I'm going to try writing a story in present tense, and in current character, to see if I can.

I don't know what dsa is, so I'm going to scour it. Scour is like google; the difference is that it pays you to do searches. I come up with a few terms. One of them is Direct Selling Associate. Another is Driving Standards Agency. Yet another is Digital Signature Algorithm. I'm actually not sure which one it might be, so I make a guess that it's either Direct Selling Associate, or Driving Standards agency. They seem similar enough.

I look at the keywords that I am to use, and I am not sure whether to be disappointed, or glad. The keywords have gone from a consistency of about 3 per, to about 1 per, with the main keyword going from 1 usage to 4 usages. The downside of this is that the main keyword is sometimes quite senseless (to me). The upside is that I don't need to include as many keywords.

Another misfortune is the keywords, I find, is that they tend to be clumsy. For example, there is on-line verses online. On-line is the one for the keyword, but it doesn't make sense to use it. Really, it's the least-annoying one. The one that I'm supposed to use right now is "driving lessons prices"; how, exactly, am I to put that one in?

However, I stop groaning about the somewhat nonsensical nature of some of the keywords, and I just use them when I can. The subject is that of cars and prices. I have met people who don't like the driving lessons prices that others offer; they're pretty rare, but they exist. I think they prefer self-learning over instruction. Crazy homeschoolers who drive a car - or is it van? - with a truckload of kids in it.

Perhaps I'm mixing my terms. I know that I was once home schooled, and that we weren't a "truckload of kids", Clara, Yuri, and I. And the driving lessons prices weren't so bad. Albeit, my mother paid them and I didn't. Ok, fine; I'm probably a bit spoiled.

I guess the point, for me, is that I didn't have to pay the driving lessons prices. I didn't really want the lessons either, though. Most of that was mom. I do hope that me writing in first person like this has been successful and not too confusion. It's an experiment, ultimately. Thank you for your time.
