Retouch your newly made first draft by editing your content completely. That�s the most secure and effective step to furnish your content more and to make it more valuable as your audience read it. Yes it is true that editing makes your content a better one. Moreover, it also aids you to improve your writing capacity.
Editing also contributes greatly to the improvement of your language learning skill. Most writers, from the previous decades and up until now always edit their work for better development. Even though you had given your best shot while writing your first draft and you had formulated your ideas on it, still, your work can�t stand alone if there are a lot of mistakes in your text.
It is best that you will review your work once more and edit the things that will help you create an effective piece. In this process, your ability to detect ad analyze the concept in a well manner is being tested as you add, change or delete some parts in your text. And that includes some ideas you had write on it while you were making your first draft.
Second is that, it allows you to organize your work well and decide what�s best for it. Editing allows you to improve as a writer. Revising and proofreading are all part of it. Therefore, you need also to spot any grammatical and spelling errors. Correct any mistakes that you can find and rewrite it if needed. Here, you can apply the things about what you�ve learn in your English course and that includes language, writing and grammar lessons.
You can edit using one of many approaches, some working better than others depending on your particular strengths. My personal preference is editing assertively using a proofreading software, with a decisive resolve to enforce strict guidelines.
Why work with guidelines? Because good copy can vary. One writer can compose long, flowing complex and compound sentences while another sticks to short and quick statements, both of them turning out excellent quality writing (not to mention successfully passing your writing tools� stringent standards). If you�re trying to improve the copy, filtering them through a set of guidelines that fit the medium, the readers and the original writer will ensure they both live up to a specific standard.
See, certain readers respond to certain things better than others. In a similar way, those who follow a particular publication or medium will have specific expectations from the pieces they read. All of these will comprise your set of guidelines and should be accounted for in whatever piece you�re editing.
Like all guidelines, these principles are a suggestion � ones which would make sense to follow in the big picture. However, they can be done away with. If giving them up fits in better with a specific piece of writing, don�t hesitate to do so. Similarly, if the original writer�s work actually fosters better clarity than what the standard guideline can achieve, it�s usually wiser to keep your hands off.
