The Golden Pencil: The Freelance Writer’s Resource

Can You Really See Your Screen?

by Anne Wayman on February 26th, 2008

Have you ever been editing your work on screen and had trouble erasing what you thought was an errant period? Except it turned out to be a spec of who knows what masquerading as misplaced punctuation. Or, if you’re like me, you’ll notice weird spots on your screen… mine are usually toward the bottom and probably come from the last coffee I sprayed everywhere laughing at some joke.

Then there’s simple dullness… it’s amazing what can collect on our screens. I guess it’s because of the static electricity or something.

Jennifer Hofmann, over at MyOrganizedBiz suggests: Clean the screen so your work can be seen. She’s got some good suggestions… right now I’m using a microfiber dust cloth on everything, including the screen.
