I read through all my past blog posts yesterday in attempt to see if my writing had improved since I started BIOL 821. I think it is getting better – it’s not poetic or anything – but my sentences are generally simple and clear. But, my paragraphs are always too long. I have a major problem with cutting out words, ideas, and examples that I think are absolutely necessary. They’re not. And see, I’m doing it again – this paragraph is clearly too long.
So for this last non-research post, I’m going to talk about what deciduous trees do in winter, with a main goal of writing short, concise paragraphs (this is a good start!).
