The first tip we got for the week was very interesting, I was not expecting fonts to make a difference in anything. It is just fonts, but they did. While writing my WP2 I got stuck often and did not know what to write so I decided to do the whole font thing. This did not necessarily help me think but it did allow me to break up my thoughts better.
The second tip was writing notes to self and I really related to it because I already do this so it was not a big change to my usual writing necessities.
I really appreciated getting new ways to say "the author says...." when introducing a quote or statement. I try to stray away from using the basic starter for every quote but sometimes it is difficult to think outside the box.
One thing that I really learned this week was the hedged language. I never realized the difference that a few words could make but this is definitely something that I will continue to use in the future. Parallelism is something I also never really payed attention too in my writing but it is a lot more commonly used than I realized. Especially in order to make our writings flow fluently.
