Mein Kampf

In Composition 1, one sentence hounded me the entire semester, "Your syntax could be better." That is a quote I can go without hearing for the rest of my life. Then there is this "recursive process" for journalism writing. I never thought much about my writing process, but I was thrown for a loop when I found that my final draft really isn't THE final draft. I must use simpler words in my writing. The more complex your vocabulary, the more interested the reader will be, right? False. A thesaurus is the equivalent to steroids for words.
