Editing

I thought I'd start your school week (unless you had school on Columbus Day) with some editing techniques in case you want to improve what you write.

One of my teachers said you could write your essay/story/whatever else you may write, and then wait a few days and read what you wrote. This way, you're not just briefly looking over the words; you actually look over everything you wrote. In fact, that's how I edited this post; seems to work very well for me.

Another thing: A few times, I save what I write, but I can't copy and paste, so I'm stuck writing the whole thing over again. When this happens, though, I see a few ways I can revise what I write. Obviously, though, it's kind of a pain in the neck to write the whole thing over again...
