Good list!
Thanks, Alex!
I always learn from these links, Elizabeth! This time, I especially noticed the one about reading your work out loud. I always encourage my students to do that – either read out loud and record it, or read it to someone trustworthy. You learn all sorts of things about your work when you do that. It uses different intelligences. And I do like the idea of trying new ways to look at one’s writing. I think we learn a lot about our writing that way.
I catch so many errors when I read my work out loud. Such a great thing to do. And I love your new profile picture!
Thank you! 😊
Thanks for compiling another great list!
Thanks for coming by, Joan!
