Gratitude is a Thanksgivingy theme...but actually much more than that. Much research has supported that practicing gratitude as a form of mindfulness can be self-regulating and cultivate positive neural connections.
In addition, gratitude has a language lens as it:

-can/should be practiced as a "listing" activity
-expresses causality
-can be pushed to the abstract i.e. being grateful for intangible things.

ReplyDeleteI used to think editing was one single step until I actually went through the process myself. Developmental editing, line editing, and proofreading are genuinely three different skill sets, and lumping them together is probably why so many first drafts still feel rough even after revision. Talking to Authors Dream about this actually helped me understand the difference better.
