Final Draft

 Going over the final draft of a novel I've been writing. Searching for errors. Considering any possible weak spots.

Call it a "How to make it better" obsession.

Or a quest.

Multiple drafts provide answers and often they are of the "Get rid of this" variety.

The first book I wrote was way back in 1976.  Typewriter days.

Yesterday, I remembered editorial comments on that lengthy process and an idea arrived.

A nice idea, modest and nothing dramatic, but a very good fit.

Especially for a final draft.

What is a Work College?

A work college is where all of the students are required to work throughout their educational experience.

 Unique to work colleges is the requirement that all resident students participate in a comprehensive-work-learning service program for all four years of enrollment. Therefore, all resident students have jobs. Most students work at on campus jobs, while some students hold off-campus positions. Students are given responsibility, relied upon, and gain valuable work experience, while reducing the cost of education.
