⭐ Grammar Challenge (Special Edition) ⭐ Good morning, writing nerds! 🤓 Ready to flex your skills? I got a special treat for ya! This isn’t your run-of-the-mill grammar drill. Watch our in-house writing guru, Tom Bromley, discuss how active and specific verbs make your writing pop during one of our live editing session 👇 📄 Then, show us those editing muscles and refine the text below. Let’s see what you’ve got! 💪 🧠 " It was a gloomy morning as Jane made her way to school. Avoiding the puddles left over from last night’s downpour, she walked quickly along the residential street, conscious that Mrs. Marsden would scold her if she arrived late one more time. Thinking of the teacher’s infamous temper, she grabbed the straps of her backpack more tightly, lowered her head, and sped up, approaching the big intersection where, last year, a terrible accident had occurred. Though the light was turning from yellow to red, she hurriedly looked in both directions and, seeing no cars, stepped into the road. Then, out of nowhere, she heard the sound of a car honking loudly. Looking to her left, she had no time to react before someone pulled her back onto the sidewalk, narrowly avoiding the speeding vehicle." 📚 Watch Tom's full live editing session - https://lnkd.in/gMbABa3c ✍ Want to sign up for Tom's novel writing course?
