*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
You can�t just write without knowing what your objective is. Your purpose will serve as your guide on what to include and how to make your ideas flow within your writing. Therefore, your objective should be base from the topic or to what you are planning to write.

Because of that, you will have the chance to be inspired for you to complete your writing task the way you plan it to be. However, your writing can�t be as perfect as what you think it is. That is why reviewing your work and to edit it will give you the chance to make your content right and effective.

But the only problem for most writers is that, editing will sometimes, if not always, will definitely make your topic different from the original plan you formulated a while ago. And because of that, your objectivity in writing will be very different which can cause major trouble in your part as you will tend to write your content all over again. This can really consume most of your time and your previous efforts and ideas will be gone into ways.

Let me help you how to retain your objectivity in writing when you are going to edit your articles. You need to be very cautious on what to do in order to maintain this kind of writing technique for the benefit of your future writing projects.

Being objective during editing and proofreading is a must. Not doing so compromises the integrity of your work. Suffice to say, it is hard to see your own mistakes and discover paths to improvement without being able to review your writing with a fresh, unbiased mind.

That is why automated writing checkers are so valuable. They are programs and, until machines learn to think on their own, will always be objective.

Enemies of Objectivity

What makes being objective hard?

� Rush. Some people rushing to finish a piece usually end up having to �lie� to themselves to skip having to miss deadlines or other things in their lives. Instead of reviewing it more, they say, �It looks good enough.� When they are unsure about a fact, they think, �Nah, it�s probably right.� The solution, of course, is to afford yourself an ample of time to finish.

� Laziness. Some writers are just plain lazy. Why write second and third drafts when you�ve put everything they had on the first? Of course, it is just an excuse � and a bad one at that.

� Being in the moment. Many writers get so engrossed in their work that they it becomes impossible to be objective during the heat of the moment. That�s why most experts advise folks to put off rewriting and editing until the next day.

� Just being in a funk. It�s hard to be objective when you are struggling to write. In these moments, it pays to put your work aside for a time and do whatever exercises you do to get in the groove.
