Calling All Writing Teachers

I just completed writing an article for an educational technology magazine. My son has his final "senior" paper due soon in his high school English 4 class. My college senior...well he tells me on a Thursday that he won't be coming home as planned this weekend because he has seven papers to finish by Monday. (Yeah, those who have been through that one also remember PROCRASTION was never our friend!)

Here are 50 tools for writing that I uncovered one day when I was Googling! I especially like Writing Tool #3. This was timely advice when trying to narrow a 2500 word draft to 2000 words. And ofcourse, heed attention to Writing Tool #5. In fact, just reading through the 50 tools reminds a writer of some things we may have forgotton in our effort to make writing deadlines.
