5 Editing Techniques To Satiate That Perfectionist In You

Remember the last time you have spent hours completing the manuscript, and when you finally had it finished, all you can think is ‘How could I make so many silly mistakes?’ Well, do not fret yourself to death, as it (the mistakes) are inevitable part of writing. It is a very common phenomenon that takes place when you are writing something with too much concentration on subject matter instead of the writing itself.

Nevertheless, it is better to perform some editing on the paper, so that the resultant can help you clear your mind for the better. Refer to these quick techniques, that can immediately make your paper look as though it has been treated by professional assignment editing services Australia.

1. The tense and voice: While performing the writing task, it may seem sound to change the tense and point of view of the sentences as fits your tale the best. However, while reading these changes sound really awkward and sometimes even unintelligible. So, while doing the editing of your paperwork, try to pay special attention on these points.
2. Limit punctuation: Though it may appear thought provoking to end a sentence with an ellipsis, it really isn’t so. And in many cases, the only thought it provokes is, ‘why on earth are we reading something the writer himself doesn’t know about.’ While it is no crime to use such punctuation here and there, using them wisely is the only way to earn positive feedback from it. The same rule applies with comas, colons, semi-colons, and hyphens.
3. Do not rely on Spell-check: This one comes out of my personal experience. Every time I intended to type ‘Thought’ I ended up typing ‘Though’. This mistake has become so frequent that checking for these both words has become a second nature to me. The other similar mistakes I made are not quite so frequent, though they are ridiculous like, ‘Dairy’ for ‘Diary’, ‘Foe’ for ‘For’, ‘Too’ for ‘Top’. So now do you get the point? NEVER rely on your spell-check.
4. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication: Every writer goes through a phase in which he/she become little Anne of Green Gables and develops a tendency of using, what they call, big words. While it would be entirely wrong to suggest that jargons do not create good impressions on readers, but the case happens when there are two or, at the most, three jargons in an 800 word article. But if your reader needs to open dictionary, after every single sentence, then you know that your writing needs improvement.
5. Friendly Contractions: No one can doubt that contractions can make a seemingly boring sentence sound familiar and candid. It is a dream of every writer to have the capability of connecting with the reader, if you don’t have that dream as a writer develop it now, and nothing comes more handy than these contractions. So wherever it is possible, write your ‘You are’ as ‘You’re’ and ‘Do not’ as ‘Don’t’. Your readers will thank you for that.
