In this post, I will do the 2nd exercise from Spellbinding Sentences. The challenge for this exercise is to focus on the words used.
I'll mix this exercise with a word analysis of what I wrote.
Although in the exercise the author just asks just to focus on each word that you write and to not judge the words yet, I want to use a few programs to analyze what I wrote using statistics. Doing so gives me a different perspective on my writing. It will also provide a small baseline for future exercises.
