Class #7, Wednesday, September 28, 2016: NOTES: Costal's Cays to Writing
Costal's Cays to Writing:
1. Show, don't tell. Great writes ILLUSTRATE IMAGES, they paint with words, even in an expository/persuasive way
2. To write better, write more. Volume is the only path out of poor art.
Stong writing = strong verbs Downgrade your use of "to be"
3. Writing IS Rewriting Edit, edit & edit again! Write with your ears, not your eyes.
4. Write with your EARS, not your EYES! Great writers hear their writing.
