Oh, the Irony...

When I began this blog, I never intended on blogging on a daily basis; however, I must offer an apology. I just read over my entry from last night, and while I was reading, I found quite a few typographical errors. Certainly, it was late when I composed my entry last night, and I was tired, etc. I have excuses--however, I find it quite ironic that I was posting about my love of teaching writing, what amazing writers my students had become, and how I was so proud that my students had embraced revision. I apparently did not follow my own revision teachings while I was composing last night.

I have since corrected the errors in my writing. If you find any more of them, please do let me know.

You might want to check out this video of Taylor Mali--an amazing poet and former teacher. He composed a spoken word piece about proofreading entitled, "The The Impotence of Proofreading." It is hysterical, and he speaks the truth. I definitely need to follow his advice--and my own.

Enjoy!
