The "Secret" to Good Editing/Writing

5/15/2017

11 Comments

 
Read your work aloud.

Reading aloud helps you to catch typos, word omissions, repetitive phrases, awkward sentence construction, etc.

When I edit, I ALWAYS read the text aloud. I wouldn’t catch half the mistakes I find without reading aloud.

I also find that reading aloud as I write helps me to develop smoother sounding sentences from the very beginning. I even read my text messages and emails aloud to ensure I’ve written what I mean to say in the most professional manner possible. There's nothing worse than noticing a typo after you've sent the email...

Reading aloud can be a little embarrassing, which is why I prefer to be completely alone in my office when I write or edit. If you want to become a better writer, I would suggest you find a quiet place where you can be alone and feel comfortable reading your work aloud. As you read, you’ll notice missing words and abrupt transitions. Stop and fix them before you continue on.

It really is as simple as that. You can dramatically improve your writing by simply reading it aloud as you edit. Try it and see the difference.

I once read at a place that the more the number of senses are involved in the learning of the task, the better there are the chances to learn it in an effective and long lasting manner. Reading the sentences aloud undoubtedly enhances the learning of the individual.

Once you are finished with your writing, one should always relax his/her mind and then go for proofreading your writ. I believe correct word for everything, and every word in its place is the key for impressive writing. When it comes to professional writing such as research articles, resumes, academic papers, business e-mails, or cover letters, a proofreading expert should be consulted.

The Secret advises people to imagine their desired outcomes clearly in order to attract it. It emphasises that getting from where you are to where you want to go isn't always a straight line, and we can't always predict when things will turn around, but tenacity and self-confidence are essential.

Clichés and tropes are the enemy of a skilled editor, but not of the overwhelmed writer who periodically resorts to them. In the area between writer and editor, judgement, a good bedside manner, and the capacity to conjure up the occasional spell are rare, but can yield wealth.
