Revising

Let’s face it, nobody enjoys revising their papers and essays because once you are done you just want to turn it in and don’t want to see it again. But like it or not you are going to have to take these steps in order to become a great writer.

First step to revising is to read your paper aloud. To illustrate, if you read your paper aloud you will catch punctuation and grammatical errors. Also, reading your paper aloud can assist on adding more or using fewer words. For example, essay can get too wordy sometimes because the writer wants to over emphasis their point by using a lot or words. In addition, writer can often be vague in their writing. For instance, writers can sometimes use words without backing up its meaning which is why reading your paper aloud is always a must.

Second step is to have someone else read it aloud because having a second voice gives the writer another perspective on their work. For example, having another person read your paper makes it easier to find mistakes and correct them because having a second voice gives the paper new meaning. 

So with this blog post I hope you take these two revising techniques and apply them to your writing.
