*****Remember, your journal is a place for you to practice your best writing. Work out your issues here. If you tend to be wordy, revise to eliminate wordiness. If you struggle with concise word choice, revise to improve. Do you tend to be too vague or general? Spend time here identifying where you have gone wrong and improve it. Progress comes from hard work and self-discipline. The best way to improve your timed impromptu scores is by thinking through your writing when time is not limited.
