This morning I was reading Tips For Young Writers when something caught my eye.
Re-write, re-write, re-write. Tear every sentence apart and analyze it. Does it flow? Is it passive or active? The best writers use an active writing voice as much as possible. So instead of saying: “She picked up the pencil,” say instead, “She grabbed the pencil.” Don’t sweat it if it seems to take a century to create something good, that’s how you learn. And with experience the writing process becomes easier.
You have read the top haven't you? Well,here are some of my tips. The first one is you always proofread your work. I I'll tell you something sometimes I forget to proofread my work.
I totally agree with you, Marcos, that it is helpful to re-write, re-write, re-write. We alll should make it a habit to write and go back and proofread our paper. We can also have other people to read our paper so that it make sense to other beside us.
I sometimes forgot or did not have time to proofread my paper too just so you know that you are not alone, Marcos.
