Tips

     I just finished reading some tips at Tips for Young Writers. I liked a lot the one about the sentences.                     

                                                 Her Tips                                                                Re-write, re-write, re-write. Tear every sentence apart and analyze it. Does it flow? Is it passive or active? The best writers use an active writing voice as much as possible. So instead of saying: “She picked up the pencil,” say instead, “She grabbed the pencil.” Don’t sweat it if it seems to take a century to create something good, that’s how you learn. And with experience the writing process becomes easier. Promise.

You should reread EVERYTHING you write !!!!!!!  Why?   If you don't you might miss spell something. You should think about it.

You are definitely right on "re-read everything you write." I definitely always use that tip when it comes to my writings.

Ever hear of this one?
After re-reading what you write. Walk away from your work for a little while, and when you come back to it, re-read it again. I guarantee you will find mistakes you didn't know were once in there!

PS. I'm glad they caught Brian Nichols

Re-reading is definitely important when working on our writing. I used to trust the computer spell check to catch all my misspellings but it wasn’t always right (especially with words like “there, their, they’re”). Another idea you might try when working on your writing is reading it out loud. When you read your sentences out loud you can hear if they flow together nicely or if you should work on some of your sentences and word choices. Just an idea :)
