Jack Young Finished Wordsmithing for “STREAM”
What I learned doing this assignment is editing is never ending. The technique of reading it backwards seems to find a lot of it and to have others read it will find them as well.
I used these six steps to edit my pilot:
Test Every Line
Check for Tone
Improve Key Words
Eliminate Distractions
Read It Backwards
Final Check
NOTE:
I just wanted to take a moment to say that I’d glad that Hal made us do all of the things that sometimes he were hesitating or didn’t want to do. I believe that it did bring up my level of writing and I love the final product I’m seeing (Pilot). I’ll be posting the final lesson for this module soon. Thanks Hal.

Madeleine Vessel’s Finished Wordsmithing!
What I learned doing this assignment is wordsmithing delayed to the end allows more creativity to happen. I also found that the six-step editing process turned up more errors than I could have guessed. I particularly like the read it backwards step, very effective!
The most important improvement I made to my script was to eliminate unnecessary description. I discovered several lines to delete as I read the script backward.
