The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. ~Anaïs Nin

Connecting Writing to the Internet

It is becoming much easier locating text on the internet. Amazon has the option to view novels, whether it is the front page, back page, or the body of the text. Blogs are also a great tool for writing on the internet; allowing writers to express themselves without revealing personal information, writings are able to create their own background and title to fit their style and personality. Nowadays, most, in not all, news articles are located on the internet. If an individual does not want to receive a newspaper everyday, they have the option to check the specific article of their desire online.

Revisions I Make

I have made revisions based on suggestions from Professors and from students who have read my work. I generally take all the ideas I am given, and incorporate them into my finished draft. For example, when revising my Ode, there were certain words like "juicy" that I had use; I was given the suggestion that "juicy" wasn't an appropriate word to describe mashed potatoes. I was given word suggestions such as silky, buttery, creamy, and steamy. Although at the time of writing my Ode I did not realize the misplacement of juicy, after careful revision and help from outside readers I was able to find a word that suited perfectly.
