Writing is such a broad task that one must finish it up. Even though there are people who think that writing is just an ordinary task where you�ll just have to write and write, but at some point, it requires further analysis and strategy. Most writers agree about it. Writing requires a unison between your feelings and mind in order to create such a wonderful piece. It also requires decision-making about the problem that needs to be solved and a better analysis on what to do next and what�s the best thing to do with your text. There are still a lot of strategies and processes that a writer must consider into writing.
That�s why, with all the work that a writer must endeavor, they are also very careful on not to mess up with their whole piece. If you wanted to learn more about it, just focus on avoiding your content�s danger points. Writing can be a crucial thing and it always involves influencing the public by sharing what you had in mind into writing. By the way, what are these danger points and how are you going to avoid them when you are writing unto something?
You�ve put together your first draft and run it through a copywriting software. After the automated corrections have been performed, it�s only prudent to give it a run-over to see what else needs extra polish.
While different writers will have varying weaknesses (hence, the frequent suggestion of maintaining a proofreading checklist), there are three points in most pieces of writing that should receive due attention. Some editors refer to it as the �danger points,� since it�s usually the areas that they end up having to revise. There are a lot of things that can be done in the revision process and all you have to do is to avoid these danger points in order to get your work done correctly. Here are the three danger points that you should be aware of:
The lead. How good is your lead at introducing the story? One trick that many editors do is to check how the article reads without the first paragraph. If the piece can stand without it, there�s a good chance that your real lead is in that second cluster of sentences, with the first paragraph being nothing but ineffective filler.
Transitions. You may have been mindful of your transitions, but that doesn�t mean it�s up to par with the standards of good writing. More than merely providing a segway from one paragraph to the next, strong transitions let the reader know why the next section is relevant and necessary to complete the picture.
Indulgent sections. Remember the writing advice that goes, �Find your favorite parts and remove it�? Yes, those portions of text that bring a smile across your face and makes you feel like you�re the best writer ever. Editors usually hate them and they do so for good reason: writing should be about being clear and informative, not brilliant or clever.
