Proofreading Tips #1: Redundancies
Have you ever thought about how redundantly we speak in every day conversation? Sometimes this passes into our writing. For graduates especially, we are unfortunately trained to add extra "padding" into our text to reach a desired word count.
Word redundancies (known as pleonasms and sometimes given the nickname of "baby puppies") are one such way. Here is a list highlighting such phrases--avoid using these at all costs:advance warningalter or changeassemble togetherbasic fundamentalscollect togetherconsensus of opinioncontributing factordollar amounteach and everyend resultexactly identicalfew in numberfree and cleargrateful thanksgreat majo
CriticismHow To Keep From Worrying About Criticism
:bulletred: Remember That No One Ever Kicks A Dead Dog :bulletred:
I discovered years ago that although I couldn't keep people from criticising me unjustly, I could do something infinitely more important: I could determine whether I would let the unjust condemnation disturb me.
Let's be clear about this: I am not advocating ignoring all criticism. Far from it. I am talking about ignoring only unjust criticism.
When you are kicked and criticised, remember that it is often done because it gives the kicker a feeling of importance. It often means that you are accomplishing something and are worthy of attention. Many people get a sense of savage satisfaction out of denouncing those who are better educated than they are or more successful.
Schopenhauer had said it years ago: "Vulgar people take huge delight in the faults and follies of great men."

Who is using your art? Surely without your permission...
I found my photo in articles, covers for stories, covers for youtube videos, lots of post in tumbrl uncredited, profiles on facebook with my picture, even my picture in a competition on slenderman... and I only upload this photo here on DA and on Shadowness!

Maybe it can be useful for you too...

Jajaja, ya, parece que como están en la otra punta del mundo no nos ibamos a enterar :D A mi lo que me molesta un poco es que haya gente por ahí con mi foto de slenderman puesta de foto de perfil en facebook, twitter, youtube y otras redes sociales... haciendo el tonto con una foto que nada tiene que ver con ellos

Lo que pasa que la foto de slenderman solo la puse aqui en DA, no era una foto que estuviese por todas partes, las personas que la cogieron tuvieron q entrar aquí y cogerla...
Te entiendo perfectamente lo de la depresión postviaje, me paso la ultima vez que viene de NY, no queria ni salir a la calle... pero bueno, en unos días se pasa. Italia es increible yo en cuanto tenga algo de dinero quiero volver, y visitar lugares que no conozco, venecia la tengo pendiente y quiero ir a pompeya... es un asco necesitar dinero para todo!!

ya ves que por internet se propaga todo rapidamente,habra gente que piense q esto es una pagina de esas donde jalas las imagenes que quieres sin pensar que tienen derecho de autor, no creas con ryanair si sobrevives es muy economico ahora que esta uno joven y puede montarselo en plan mochilero y dejar las excursiones programadas para cuando sea uno más senil, venecia es un lugar donde los que llevamos algo de arte en nuestro interior se reafirma , es un lugar d inspiración constante , fijate que alli podrias vivir de tu arte! se nota que me ha dado fuerte eh jajaja, estuve en roma y es completamnt diferente, Roma fue un imperio pero Venecia es una cuna de arte!

Me pones los dientes muy largos! aunque seguro q el día que vuele yo con ryanair aterrizamos en el mar, jjejeje. Sería increible poder vivir al menos un par de meses por allí... cuando fui a florencia quise quedarme para siempre!
