Ashley's Tips for Writing

      I read a tip from Tips For Young Writers.

Tip 3: Chop it out! Sometimes things are better left unsaid. Always check your work to be sure every word has a place and slash the ones that stick out.

       I think it means like when you give too much information, people might get bored.   It gives the same information over and over again. It can sometimes be too wordy.

           Here is some tips I made: Tip 1: Always use higher level thinking words from Bloom's Taxonomy and use vivid words.

       Tip 2: Don't copy the same word over and over again.

        Tip 3: Revise your work before reading in front of a audience.

         Tip 4: Use your voice in your writing.

         Tip 5: Don't write about something that bores you. It is important to enjoy your own writing.
