Something that I learned about editing someone else’s paper
is, that I’m not very good at it. Haha
It was an interesting experience to say the least. I didn’t
feel like I was qualified to do something like that, but it was a learning
experience for sure. I had to look up a lot of the previous assignments to give
myself a refresher course of everything that we had learned, because I feel
like there were so many things packed into one. It gave me a “memory lane” type
of feel, going from the first assignment just doing a little quiz to find out
what we knew and what we needed to work on. I needed to work on a lot. And
getting to the points of headlines and the final assignments.
I had helped a friend with a screen play that he’s writing.
It’s definitely not exactly what we’ve been working with, but it’s similar
enough to get the point across. It all includes grammar and sentence structure
to make something work.
It also took a lot longer than I had anticipated. It wasn’t
in a bad way though, it just took a little more concentrating because I thought
it would be a bit easier.
Either way. Coaching, in my opinion, is essential. If you
have access to someone that has these skills, ask for help. If not, go through
a class like this to optimize your grammar and editing skills to make every
writing feature the best that it can be.
