Re: Jan's New Writing Lessons -- COMMONLY MISUSED WORDS
Jan, Such wonderful examples of misused words, and ones that I'm probably guilty of misusing without realizing it. I'm writing several of them (the ones that surprised me the most), so that I may solidify them in my head. :D A raging fire swept through the block and decimated most of the neighborhoo...

Re: Winners for EXPAND
I feel a speech coming on. :D I must confess to a few teardrops on this win. I've been in a writer's slump of mega proportions for a while, except for writing devotionals.

Re: Jan's New Writing Lessons--TRANSITIONS
I'm curious whether I addressed whatever questions you may have had about writing transitions between paragraphs when you suggested this topic. Is there anything I missed? Jan, you absolutely answered my questions. Then, too, I'm not sure I would call them questions. I had no specific principles to...

Re: Jan's New Writing Lessons--TRANSITIONS
Jan, I think I used this one: "Another kind of transition is achieved by using synonyms or pronouns in the new paragraph that refer to words in the previous one." In my second paragraph, I referred to the fuzz on my upper lip to the change is the last sentence of the first paragraph. I als...

Suggestions for Jan
I thought I read a post by Jan that said she was back and looking for suggestions. But I can't find the thread. So Jan, I'm posting my suggestion here. I would like a few pointers on how to have a smooth transition from one paragraph to another, especially when writing non-fiction. I guess it could ...
