Saturday, March 24, 2007Writers' Tips: Backwards
Copyediting trick: Read your story backwards.
You can do this paragraph by paragraph, sentence by sentence ... or if you're only looking for spelling errors, word-by-word. The idea is that you don't want to just sucked into the narrative/content of the story -- reading backwards allows you to concentrate only on syntax and the mechanics of your word construction. Of course this is helpful for any copy editing, from fiction to health care contracts (assuming that someone is paying you to do that). Labels: writers' tips // posted at
