Well done Euryleia,
You seem to have some excellent writing habits already! I also like that you are open to new ideas and are aware of the areas that might need more attention. Like all ideas, not all will work for you, but it sounds like you have picked out some ideas that should improve your editing and writing.
I am glad that you found the articles helpful too.
Okay, now you are ready to tackle assignment two. The key to doing this assignment, is to read the chapter you decide to edit, as one of the instructors here would! Don't rewrite the chapter but instead tell me what you would change and why. It might be a good idea to look at how the instructors edit a student's work in levels one and two.
Also, please do not be afraid to really get stuck into the chapters, you will not offend either H Dean or myself. In case you haven't found them, the chapters are in a sticky at the top of the thread.
So, have fun and post your results in a new thread when you are ready.
AG
