    Could there be contests in which you write an essay, or some such thing like that? That would be great, because my mom is always bugging me about how I need to get better writing skills. Writing about books and/or subjects I don't care for, I don't put a full 100% effort most times. If I wrote about a subject I care about (history), I would most likely write better essays.

    Maybe I'll find some...thanks anyway!
    I don't know how old you are, but if you haven't done college yet that will cure you of your problem. Sounds like you'll end up a history major like me. That means that 95% of your classes will be graded entirely on essays. Trust me, they're not ALL interesting. I thought I was a good writer before college, but I was pretty poor in comparison to what I became while there. Too bad law school requires you to break every single rule of good writing. %$#&#$ lawyers...

    As for those online tests, I stopped playing when I got to "who was president of russia?" in the WW2 quiz.

    Yeah, write an essay for the fun of it, and post it here, I'd be happy to read (and comment).
