It's always such a struggle to teach 8th graders how to revise and edit.<br /><br />btw, I found a great writing group in my neck of the woods. There are five of us, and we each email 10 pages of whatever we're working on to each other a couple of days before we meet. We print each other's work, read it, mark it up with suggestions, then discuss when we get together. It is extremely effective.<br /><br />Good luck on the book.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06908199840192784772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1445703610625382215.post-12515224481146315552009-08-26T11:10:15.661-04:002009-08-26T11:10:15.661-04:00I would feel so vulnerable letting someone read my...I would feel so vulnerable letting someone read my writing out loud to others and me at the same time, but I can see what a great idea it is. I feel more comfortable sending it out to the great beyond where nobody knows me. Writing is so private, but the point is to be public. <br /><br />I love the way you express your thoughts. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment on my blog.

Especially if it's close to my heart or about a personal or painful experience. I used to let my mom read everything, but she would always say something like oh this is so sad, why are you feeling so sad? Are you depressed? So now I try to let more discerning parties read my work. I love to hear my words come out in anothers voice. I love how they put pause and inflection in different places. It's a great tool to help you refine your work.<br />Good luck!
