Journal 2

Before ready Straub's writing, I have always thought to just find as many tiny errors with the paper as possible, all while thinking I was helping out the writer. I only corrected papers if I had to because I thought that the more red marks on the paper, the more i was helping the writer. Now, I realise it is not all about making the paper bleed red ink, but more about the soul of the paper. It is more about how the paper reads than the actual words on the paper. I have realized that I help out the writer more if i tell them how the paper flowed rather than telling them minor details that spell check can fix. A writer needs an opinion more than a concrete grammar.
