TO KNOW - BAN THE BORING

writing to remove mistakes and increase engagement
why do we ban the boring
Texts need editing for mistakes and to be more engaging.
You should never fall in love with your first story idea.
It takes away from the marker's engagement when they see a spelling, grammar or punctuation mistake.
ban the boring means editing when you are finished
There are three separate types of editing:
Structural - the way your structure events.
Expression - the way you say what is happening.
Line editing - spelling, punctuation and grammar.
Why was it removed from the movie?
task 1 - why was this scene deleted?
Watch the deleted scene from Venom and brainstorm the reasons why it was removed from the move.

Read over your stories you have been planning so far.
Look for sentences in your story that are boring and could be more engaging for the reader.
Fix up any mistakes as you come across them, it is important to read slowly and properly.
