Rewrite

Set your work aside and let it rest. Then, read it with fresh eyes.

Edit your work:

  • Does it have a clearly stated focus sentence?
  • Did you start with the most interesting part?
  • Is it organized so your audience can read it and clearly understand your meaning?
  • Did you use strong verbs?
  • Are people the subjects of your sentences (People can do many more interesting things than ideas can do, and your audience more easily understands your ideas when they see people doing those ideas).
  • You are not your work.
  • Listen to what they say.
  • Make changes to help you readers more clearly understand your intended meaning.

Repeat this process two more times before you publish.

Proof your work. Ask two other people to proof your work as well.

Publish. Now you are ready for the world to read what you have written.
