Of course it is, Scott! If possible, though, could you double space the lines so I have room to write my markings?
Just go to 'Format', then 'Paragraph' and select 'Double' from the drop down menu beside 'Line Spacing'. I apologise if you already know that!

Hi Scott, Sorry for the late reply. I've been away on holiday! Just bring your epic saga in with you on Tuesday. I'm very much looking forward to reading it. It's a little long for the SQA but we'll sort all of that. Hope you've had a great holiday! Miss Davidson  |

this has nothing to do with creative writing but its to do with prelims
i did a pass paper (timed) and got on fairly well (only missed 3 questions) but when my sister started to mark it she wondered how i did the "In your own words" questions
i said that i wasn't aloud to use any word that was in the paragraph i was looking at but she said i could use key words like 'cat, sentence, love, family.....etc'
im am now very confused can someone please help me

Hi Scott,
First of all, well done for making sure you're timing yourself with your past papers. 'In your own words questions' mean exactly that; you must use your own words, unless they are words such as 'and' or 'in' which you couldn't possibly change. Remember, the best way to do it is to think of another way to say the whole sentence, rather than trying to change every word, e.g.
'The population had exploded; year on year, it was growing'
could be changed to:
'The number of people in the country was increasing annually.'

Hi Scott,
I think it would be useful to know what passage you attempted! 'Cat', 'sentence' and 'cave' are just words like any others; they are not necessarily key words! What I will say is that the paper will not ask you to change things into your own words if it is impossible to do so.
If the question asks for your own words, that's what it means. Change everything if you can, though as I said before, some words are more difficult, like 'and' or 'in'.
