This is what my life has become these days: editing, editing, editing. Over the last few weeks of the semester, we put in quite a few hours getting the last articles of our first issue through the final editing stage, table read, so we can get the issue to publication over the break. Now, with finals and end-of-semester deadlines approaching, I've been editing my seminar paper. Having not read it for about two months, I was pretty alarmed to read what I had written. I'm thinking I was trying to fill up 30+ pages so I wrote with a heavier style than usual. Over the course of six or seven hours today, I shaved about three to four pages off of the final product by reducing redundant phrases, the use of passive voice, and compacting prepositional phrases. A scintillating Sunday, if you ask me.
