This is excellent information, and it further demonstrates your genuine motives for writing and sharing your messages...it's not about money or a writing credit, it's about helping others. I've sensed that from many things you have written. You are an amazing person. Thank you!
Excellent points! Thanks for continually sharing such a broad range of information. Reading how you've learned of it from personal experience strengthens the message.
Reference right? Thanks. I'll correct it in the book being published. If you are willing to review it use this link to get one: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/t2feeen29q
Thanks from all writers and readers for this great advice. I studied books with similar guidance long ago, spending countless hours reading about writing before writing. I can only hope these studies paid off.
One cannot overemphasize the importance of cutting, reorganizing, editing, and rewriting ruthlessly. Then doing it all over again until you have lost count of the number of drafts tossed into the trash (electronically speaking).
A couple of annoying comments follow:
First:
You wrote: “Never hit the return twice at the end of sentences. Modern word-processing programs fix spacing perfectly if only one return is used after a period.”
You may mean: “Never hit the **space bar** twice at the end of sentences. Modern word-processing programs fix spacing perfectly if **you use only one space** after a period **or other end-of-sentence punctuation**.”
(The Return key ends a paragraph and starts a new one. Pressing Return twice adds a space between paragraphs.)
And yes, double spaces at the end of sentences are annoying in a modern proportional typeface.
Second:
The Wayback Machine is being scrubbed now that people know about it. I don’t know of any alternatives, but some might exist.
I’m intrigued, and have some cautions as well. It’s cool that a medical person has such an interest in refining his writing. I assumed doctors would not have the time and that is why they hire proofreaders. I’ve just begun my proofreading course, Proofread Anywhere, and that has a ton of resources as well, but an outstanding one you might appreciate is Grammar Revolution. I am also learning more about digital security so I have an ingrained distrust of the big tech software you’ve mentioned. Have you heard of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS)? The FOSS world may be better known as Linux computers, software, servers, phones etc. The source code is not hidden as it in Apple, Microsoft & Google products so you know exactly what it’s doing and specifically what it is not doing - tracking you, creating a profile, collecting & selling your data!!! Two outstanding sources of help in this area are on the Telegram channels Jeff.pro and MARK37. For content creators in the alternative medicine world, and those of us seeking to learn from such creators, it best to get away from traditional, big tech dependency. So much of our identity and creative work is harvested by entities for profit and control. I respect your desire to be your own proofreader and copywriter and maybe next year I can work for your colleagues who don’t want to wear all those hats lol! Thank you for bringing us this research.
Thank your for sharing that. We are in the same resonance band.
To keep me aware of EMF exposures, I have a small frequencey meter, an android app, and most importantly a body/home voltage meter kit. - A few different kinds of grounding mats plugged into elec. outlet connections. The entire earth is polluted with EMF far above safe limits and no one can escape from it, except with shielding.
I have a friend who was the first and only male who had breast cancer. He was a power company repair man that required him to carry a phone. He kept it in his shirt pocket.
I could use the assistance of several people doing various tasks.
I hope to be able finish writing the second part of my biograpy.

I have to laugh though. I was thinking, a LOT of this sounds familiar.
At the end you explain why. . .
you recommend Stephen King's book! Yes, I have read it. He IS a great writer and his book is well worth the reading as you point out. I found one other book years ago, not likely in print any longer, which is good to teach this and build passion for writing:

Thanks for this!
Thank you, how very generous of you to share it at large Dr. Yoho.
I don't think I have a book in me (maybe just private memoirs) but, I appreciate
and enjoyed reading your post.
Excellent tips! Thank you. I saw only one typo :-) "These have their own “URL” web locations, so you can used them as referenced links."
Reference right? Thanks. I'll correct it in the book being published. If you are willing to review it use this link to get one: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/t2feeen29q
I'll also review Butchered by Healthcare (on Amazon) when I'm finished.
Open this up and have a look.

Here is a podcast about it.

use, not used :-)
Jeez can't see my own prose. Thanks.
And that's exactly why every writer needs a proofreader :-)
And editors
geez. I was thinking YOU had it right as referenced(adverb?) but missed "used" also!
Our brains must skip over things . . . we really DO need to say things out loud just like your tome above suggests!

Many thanks for this helpful information.
Question for readers: Do you find it easier to read white text on black background? (I don't.)
Wait until you are 69 like me ha
Almost there!
I agree. It’s harder for me to read white text on black.
I'm 72(almost) and it is easier for me being dark.
I will bet a buck, most readers here are over 60, maybe over 65.
Luzzie must be a young pup!
The Doc should take a poll!
One other hint: Don't use white text on a black background. It's difficult and tiring to read.
Thanks from all writers and readers for this great advice. I studied books with similar guidance long ago, spending countless hours reading about writing before writing. I can only hope these studies paid off.
