Love the brevette exercise that allows one to try out various clauses to see how they work. These gathered active statements lead the reader to the lesson of editing and revision. Neat.

Thank you for introducing the Brevette format to me. I missed the post from Roy. If I was an English teacher, I think that I would make my students do a Brevette every day with a Thesaurus sitting beside them. What a wonderful way to learn to write.
Like any craft, writing takes time and practice. For some, just getting the thoughts down is cathartic. For people who write for others, it takes polish and editing. Then more polishing and editing. Then more.
You say all this very well.

I enjoyed reading your advice on writing and it's so true. I have done it all. I am amazed at prose writer who also write poetry. My few attempts have been a horrible mess. Maybe when I retire I'll give it another chance.

Thank you for these words of wisdom, and a reminder in the Author's Notes of the need for one's work to be the best it can possibly be - and that applies to every aspect of the work. Very well written, in a form I have never used (yet).

Nice poem that uncovers the "Behind the scenes" of our daily writing. You added poetry in another dimension by adding the music "to help write a paper". Colorful design in your artwork that add even one more way to express your art! Thanks for sharing and have a great time!!

Hello Sal.

This is an unusual use of style for one of your writing tip posts. Your fine job of lining up the nouns and verbs to make sense, yet to transmit a message of construction and style.

Again, a new poetry format. Does it require three one-word lines perverse and then six verses? I agree wholeheartedly with your author's notes. There are plenty of people on site who are willing to help others.

    Thank you for the lovely review and generous compliments, dear Jan. No, you can do a single Brevette consisting of three words: A noun, a verb, and a noun. Sending you my best today as always,

This is very good advice you are including in the unusually formatted poem. I enjoy the creative part of the writing, but the polishing could use some more attention when it come to what I write.
