I disagree.
So what do you think and why you think that ?
I told you I was only going to respond once to your questions.
Read your book.
I did read my book! its not C for sure.
so uhmm eaither B or D i think its D but i think its B ahahahaha is it D ?
I learned a long time ago, when you write something, let is sit at least overnight. It is like cooking beans, you cant do it very well in one sitting.
This is especially good advice when you write with emotion or logic. Time has its own way of properly focusing thought.
yea but i don't think its C no way i will curse that out for sure i cursed that out my firsted one i cursed out.
ms.sue is it D if not then B
http://writetodone.com/2009/06/23/first-draft-secrets-four-simple-steps/ see step five.
i don't see the answer haha is the answer eaither B or D ?
ciara -- re-read Ms. Sue's post above -- then make your best guess and move on.
Ciara: I gave you the answer, and yet you argue? Nuts to this.
See step five in that article. What does "curing" the cheese mean? What does letting the beans "soak" overnight mean?
Ciara, if you won't accept the advice of an expert and won't carefully read the recommended web site, then I don't know why you're posting your test questions here.
I don't know what dose that mean oh my godsh this is so confusing write now i know its not A or C bob i know you think its C but i don't think its C.
i did read it he thinks its C .
I agree with C.
iBut in my book it say's read and read all over again.
My husband was the author of 9 published books. He ALWAYS let his first draft sit for a few days before he started his revisions and editing.
Your book may not indicate C is the answer, but three of us very experienced teachers and writers all agree that C is the best answer.
