I Don't Reread
Blog entries, term papers, even news stories sometimes. I just do not go back and reread what I wrote and check for errors.
Is that bad?
I trust spell checker too much and I trust my writing well enough the first time around.
Now, I know that Stephen King's editor said that the first draft, he is writing for himself, and the second draft he should be writing for his audience, so you then take out all the little things you felt like inserting. However, I remember once my editor said he liked the feel of my article because it was not as bland or straight as other articles.
Plus, when I get a 90 on a 5 page paper I wrote the night before, I know I am good.
Still, to reiterate the question: Is that bad?
