With writing leads, I need to work on not stating the obvious, because I generally do that. I also need to work on keeping it to the main point of the story, I don't know why this is so hard for me, but it is. I also feel like I forget about the readers. I just go off on a tangent, so I go back in a lot of my writings & revise.
I have learned a lot about writing leads. I learned that it's bad to use unfamiliar names & to opinion-ate, which I knew, but I'm not very good at keeping my opinions to myself. These are only a few but it's nice to know these things for the future as well as this class.

I think making several drafts is important to every writer. Staying focused can be hard for everyone, just try to think of your final objective. Never use & in titles either! LOL

ReplyDeleteMistakes:
• Sentence should have been split into two or linked by semicolon after first comma: I also need to work on keeping it to the main point of the story, I don't know why this is so hard for me, but it is.
• Used two & instead of spelling out "and"
I find myself going off on tangents as well. I used to try to stop myself. But now I let myself go and then I go back and look at it later with a clear mind. I then condense what I wrote and delete things. I usually end up with something really good when I let myself just write and then go back and make it clear and the best I can possibly make it. Thats why writing is fun I think!
