Actually, one reason I started doing this was because I needed to remind myself of many of these tips. :)<br /><br />Ha, Taylor Anne, I think, as your editor, I can say you learn pretty well! You've come a long way since that first submission you sent me. :) Looking forward to your next one!<br /><br />Yes, Tony-Paul, so true. Our writing can be much tighter and cleaner without extraneous words. Thanks for stopping by and sharing those helpful tips!<br /><br />Good for you, Toni. It seems to me like as soon as I cure one issue in my writing, at least a couple more pop up. I'm forever learning. :) Thanks for stopping by!Alicia Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003539473772776004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-57533381812644699752016-04-30T14:28:12.720-05:002016-04-30T14:28:12.720-05:00You brought up two points I cured myself from doin...You brought up two points I cured myself from doing...Toni V.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08052890346125029399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-86507883575514797972016-04-30T14:26:31.055-05:002016-04-30T14:26:31.055-05:00Good points, Alicia.

Most of the time when someone changes direction or goes anywhere, they "turn" and generally reaching for something involves doing another actin also. So instead of having someone "turn and walk away" why not simply have them "walk away?" Instead of reaching for someone's hand and clasping it, why can't they simply "clasp someone's hand?"Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09276812950976655963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5214139537886339178.post-20505466777109865622016-04-30T14:10:38.953-05:002016-04-30T14:10:38.953-05:00I love reading these tips.
