Miss Cyr's Shorthand

Over the years I have adopted my own shorthand and editing marks. Here is a list of what you may see

DUH: um...duh states the obvious

FABW/FABP: Find a Better Word or Find a Better Phrase Your choice is either immature, slang, or unspecific.

Hmmm: You've introduced something I need to think about

FAS: Find a synonym

AWK: awkward construct

DM: Dangling Modifier - Usually this is a prepositional phrase in the wrong place "We saw ducks riding around the lake on our bikes."

PS: Plot Summary

MOB: Moments of Brilliance

HOP: Heart Attack on Paper
