Last day for writing time for work on writing #4. TRY THIS: If you’ve finished the draft, work to improve at least 3 words (consider your word choice) and add one/another craft “move” like adding some figurative language or a purposeful fragment or a meaningful repetition or a power series of three… also make sure you double-space the paper and change paragraphs where ideas shift (indent using the tab key).
