Because I don't have to write with a pen anymore, it's all typing now. I think faster than I type, so often times my sentences and paragraphs come out mangled. So, it's editing and more editing. Even so, I still miss a spelling or singular vs. plural. It's tough editing your own writing. in terms of reading other people's work, what I like most is Original Ideas. I generally dislike cliches, I personally think they are over-done. I prefer simple, straightfoward writing style. Believe it or not, I think it is harder to write a compelling essay or story with a simple straightfoward style, than trying to sound "deep" by using unnecessary analogy, paradox, idioms...etc. I get a headache from reading those.
