Give this a try and see … [The Writer’ s Life]( February 28, 2024 "The first draft is black and white. Editing gives the story color." – Emma Hill I have a fun quiz for you, {NAME} … Real quick: A. Baited breath or B. Bated breath? A. Deep-seeded or B. Deep-seated? A. First-come, first-serve or B. First-come, first-served? A. For all intensive purposes or B. For all intents and purposes? I’ll give you the answers in just a second! But first … Do any of those ever trip you up? “Lay” versus “lie” is another one I always have to stop and think about. Here’s a helpful “cheat” for it … Lay → pLAce, Lie → recLIne … So … he lay down his keys. (“Lay” means to place something down; it’s transitive and needs an object — in this case, the keys — to act upon.) She decided to lie down. (“Lie” means to recline; it describes something moving on its own into position or already in position.) As writers, knowing the right word to use at the right time is power. Making mistakes with word choices … confusing meanings of words … mixing up words like “capital” with “capitol” … is not only embarrassing but can cause us to look less professional than we want. That’s why we stress holding the “final” stage of any writing project — the review and edit process — until you’ve let the copy rest a day or two, so you’re coming to it with fresh eyes.
