Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Always Edit

Prompt- When you sit down to blog, do you outline what you're going to write or do you just free write and let your thoughts take you where ever?

I just write whatever or wherever usually. Although, I generally edit and rewrite when I find odd sentences or wording which is not self-explanatory. For instance, if I say That is cold. I would come back delete the word that and say the Ice is cold. Because I think when we read writing the reader can often put a twist on the meaning if it(the sentence) is not exact about the meaning. Plus, this is one of my failings if I'm in a hurry.

I really rarely outline anything I am writing. If it comes out of my thoughts one way and I don't like it, I will change it.

Once had a writing teacher who said, "Write it. Edit it, then let it set for a week and read it." When blogging I cannot let it set a week. If it is a short story and there is time, I will let it set overnight. Then, read it, make changes, and post it. The teacher's comment does help when reviewing writings and trying to make it better.
