Writing Tips

            Tip #1: READ A TON!!!  The more you read, the better a writer you will become.

            Tip #2: Brainstorm!  It really helps to get your ideas on paper - even if it's messy and only you can understand it.

            Tip #3: Write!  Let that first draft just flow and/or struggle out of you.  Don't correct along the way.

            Tip #4: REVISE!  This is my favorite part of writing (other than the brainstorming part).  I revise over and over again.

            Tip #5: Don't give up!  If you want an A+ on that paper, or you want to get published - the secret is NEVER GIVE UP!
