#shewrites2010 The year in reflection

Thanks to going back to school last year as an English major, I've been able to figure out a few things.1. Edit. Then edit again. I wait a few days after writing to tackle editing, so I see more clearly.2. I've learned the proper use of the apostrophe in it's and its fairly well (but slip up often).3. I've discovered that I'm far too wordy, and need to slow down my thoughts to be more concise.4. Don't rush the process-when I do reviews I often spend days planning them before I ever start…See More

Amy,

Thanks for the add on the blog. About the questions: I promised myself that I would post more often this year, not waiting for big, fully-formed thoughts, but instead to just throw down what's in my head and let it go from there. I'm glad they are "not the typical" questions. That's what I'm going for!
