On the second Tuesday of each month, we choose one member’s story for review by the Life Writers community.

Tonight, we looked at Barbara Gardner’s story, “Water, Water Everywhere and Not a Drop to Drink,” about her reaction to kindness that led to a deep insight.

We reviewed how to use adverbs with care, use the correct tense for internal monologues, write numbers, and more.

View the story notes for this session here. One of my goals for these story notes is for you to use this information to create a personal editing checklist. Complete this fillable editing checklist of edits specific to you and your work.
