Thoughts on Copy Editing -- Jared Silva

To me, copy editing is really the kind of class that can make any journalist or wannabe journalist a better writer overall. Even if you think you know what you're doing, copy editing is there to show ways to improve you're writing even more. Anyone can know how to write nicely or spell properly, but copy editing as a whole is the way to make you know for sure you're doing it all right.

Personally, I want to take this idea into fruition and make myself a better writer for a future job in writing. I know I tend to make a bunch of simple mistakes when I write for school or in my own free time, so this is the kind of class I hope will make me better and make me realize the mistakes I'm making to improve on them. Hopefully, if this class turns out to be successful for me, my writing will turn out to be much more professional and maybe lead to a better job or career simply because I know how to type better.
