Q1. Choose a paragraph from your story. Do a word count using your word processor. Then try cutting the word count at least in half by eliminating unnecessary or repetitive words. Post both paragraphs so that we can see what you cut. Rather than choose 1 paragraph, I’d like you to choose one double spaced page (one page is ~250 words). I want you to do your best to eliminate about half of the words (this isn’t a hard-n-fast rule so just do your best). Then, post the original and the revision with the word count under each.
