Oh, no! Not another writing blog
Wednesday, September 3, 2008 at 08:19PM | Lynn My colleagues tell me that "everybody and his twin brother" gives writing tips on their websites. I've avoided doing this for the past three years. Up until a year ago, it was easy to refrain. But when I started teaching freshman English, I've "itched" to talk about writing. Anyway, the "talk" will float into cyberspace, somewhat like storytelling.--words flying into the air.
Last week I realized that this website needs to be functional by offering a reason for readers to return. Also, it needs to serve special purposes---educational ones, when possible. Therefore, by tomorrow (9/4) I'll add a writing tip to this site everyday. At least, everyday I have access to the internet. This will not come in the form of writing advice, rather, it will simply be random tips that come to mind as I explore my own writing, as I edit the writing of others and as I grade over 400 essays a semester.
It may prove to be boring for those who would rather read than write. Even though there is a lot to say about writing, I'll throw in reading tips from time to time.
Visitors to the site are invited to submit tips. Therefore, this list could end up being a mile long. When it seems unwieldly, I'll categorize it and keep going. So, check in day by day and get a few new ideas and sometimes an old rehash.
