Re: Frustrated Filling

It's a new art form, Shifting Literature. Like how the poem Howl is different with each performance lol

Best advice I've gotten on editing is to read your piece out loud. Your ear will pick up things your eyes didn't (not to mention the errors that you stop noticing when you've been staring at the same page for hours)

Hopefully that'll help someone at least a little

My best editing tip is to read your piece backwards, one sentence at a time. It won't help much for flow, but it's invaluable for picking up typos and re-use of words. The theory is that after writing, reading and editing a piece, you know how it goes and your expectations of what's there get in the way what's actually written on the page. It works pretty well for me most of the time, but YMMV of course.
