based on what a writer learns about how to craft a book
Okay, that is exactly what I set out to do. Reviewing everything was a new years resolution five years ago, and my explicit purpose was to read like a writer. Which involved untraining some of those lit degree undergrad habits, but I'm really okay with that. I have a pet theory that, if I've improved as a writer in any measurable way through the three years of law school when I wasn't writing much, it was because of reviewing.
Emoticons, heh. I used to have all the common ones redefined, so :D was "smiley," etc. I have a relatively clean install right now, though, and I lost all my settings, so I'm just getting "dee" for things like :D and D: since I have a lot of punctuation turned off. Should fix that.
