Editing Blog

After thinking about the perils of posting rough work to English grad students,  I am returning for more!  I have tons of (hopefully) future articles which exist now as good ideas trapped in imperfect essay formats.  I would love to be able to post this on my blog and would welcome insights and suggestions as I continue to tweak and perfect my work.  If any of you have things you would like to group/peer edit, would you post them on your blogs?  I know when I am procrastinating I would much rather clean up someone else's work than tackle my own-perhaps if we had this editing network we could all give a few minutes now and then and dramatically improve work that we always mean to but never have time to do. 



After this class is over, I would like to continue with this and I would welcome any of you as contacts.  I will post more later.

Liz-thank you for your suggestions

  1. You can count me in; I really like the idea of a collaborative editing community. Besides, I've had this blog for three semesters now, and I have no doubts that I'll have it next semester and perhaps longer (as I go on into job searching, etc). It'll be nice to know that someone will still be around when this class is over.

    Oh, and you can leave comments on your own blog. That way you don't have to leave extra commentary in the body of your blog if you don't want to.

  2. Count me in! As my grandmother would say, "Two heads are better than one," or "Many hands make light work." Of course, on the other hand, she might say, "Too many cooks spoil the broth." Whatever. She was a woman with a saying for every eventuality. Miss her. Sharon
