Abstract:
|
To edit is to make a choice, or series of choices. Will I write a rough draft of this
essay in longhand, or hammer it out on my computer? If the latter, what font
shall I use? Times New Roman, Book Antiqua, or Garamond? Once I get
started, what style shall I adopt: realistic, confessional or impressionistic; or a
combination of all three (Van Maanen 1988)? Should I try to impress with
‘learned scholarship’, or should I merely outline in conversational English a few
thoughts based on my own experiences?... |
