Project attempt #1:
Here’s a quote im gonna work on from How I Write a Lot :
When I say this part:
Is there a better word than “like” here? I’m thinking i could find a better word but I think the problem is my use of “this” before “quote.” I didnt want to be repetitive and use “this” again after “like”. I ended up leaving the word “like” by itself to describe the rest of the words in the sentence. I think I could get better at using more definite determiners like “the.” I think the audience probably wouldve understood what quote I was referring to.
I think another thing that could help is when I rephrase a quote in my own words, I could use single quotes(?) or use a colon to introduce it.
Some concepts Im thinking could use work are paraphrasing, colons, indefinite/definite articles, words like “this,” and words like “like.”
