This week we have read Colson Whitehead's article and have obtained many ways to explain our good and bad writing habits. We have also seen that there is probably not one golden rule that will work for everybody. Choose two of Whitehead's suggestions and tell us why you think they will help you as a writer. Explain with your own experience. Not sure where to start? Here's my example (NO STEALING OF MY EXAMPLE ALLOWED!) The first rule that works for me is Revise. Revise. Revise. because as a student I learned to put my work away when I was distracted or tired--then when I went back to it the next day I would easily find errors that I had been overlooking. As Whitehead tells us, every edit contributes to a new draft. Think of a blank page on a new day as a new start and you will not be as stressed next time you click on MS WORD.
