Growth Mindset: My Editing Challenges

For this week's Growth Mindset challenge, I chose to do more editing challenges. When it comes to writing my stories, I always try and go back through to double check that I am not missing anything important. As this class has continued throughout the semester, I have found a lot of editing challenges that have helped me a lot. One thing that I have found helps me a lot is to have two windows on my computer open. One screen has the original story I am reading from, and one where I am starting my own story. That way, I can re read the source and make sure I am not doing anything to similar to the original, and not too far away. A lot of the time, I will find that I have strayed too far from the original- almost to where there is nothing connecting the two! So it always helps me to re read the original and make sure I am on the right track. I have found that this helps me especially when I am doing Wednesday's reading in case my mind starts to wonder and I don't have a good enough story. So, re reading the source is great way to help you stay on track when you feel like you are wondering off too much!
