Why Hadn’t I ever done that? Because I didn’t have your post and Andy’s wisdom.<br />But I do now. Thanks again.Mirka Breenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653086859905415156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432013893645110010.post-17816379146119353172011-09-23T08:27:48.017-06:002011-09-23T08:27:48.017-06:00Lots of great information on editing!

Pointing out their use of everything except "said" (shouted, whispered, murmured, screeched...) and/or misused beats really helps me hone in on problems with my own writing. I also found that a good long (3 month) break after I finished writing helped tremendously, in terms of looking at my work with fresh eyes. I didn't attend Andy's session, so I'm glad to find your notes!Alison Pearce Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00955543150406880055noreply@blogger.com
