Will You Add? - Writing Well-- 6 Steps to Being Your Own Best Editor
Copyright is the writer's security blanket. It just makes you feel better to know your words are protected. I once knew a writer who was so scared his work would be stolen, he never sent it anywhere. Talk about counterproductive! But if you can understand these four simple copyright keys, you can rest easy and submit at will.1. Create!That's all you have to do to copyright something: write it. You don't have to publish it and you don't have to register it with the United States Copyright Office, although there are certain advantages to regis

If you have recently filed bankruptcy, it won't be long before you are starting to ask yourself, "Ok, now, what do I do when I need a loan? Where do I got to get approved? Can I get approved?" Here are some overall basics about getting any kind of credit after a bankruptcy.2-3 Years after bankruptcy discharge is the magic number - Once you have filed bankruptcy, even the next day you can still get a car loan and possibly a mortgage loan. But, getting an unsecured loan like a credit card or a personal is usually out of the question until you
One of the most important steps in this process is learning to look at one's own work objectively. To focus on the intended message and ensure that it is delivered properly. While that may seem obvious enough, as the work progresses, it can become blurred. As the old song goes, "I have so much to say; but the words get in my way." To clarify that 'blurring' effect, it is essential to be able to edit your own work. But how does a writer edit their own work? While the process may vary depending on the writer, there are six steps that are integral to editing.
1) COMPLETE THE DRAFT
Novice writers should not attempt to edit as they write. Even experienced writers, who learn to smoothe over the copy as they go, know this is not editing and must wait for that separate step later on. The most important point of a first draft is to simply get the idea on paper, in whatever fashion that's comfortable for the writer. An outline is helpful and can serve as a rough draft for smaller projects. But if that format seems too limiting, just write out the first draft, understanding it is only the first go-around.
2) WALK AWAY
Even if it's only for a long enough period of time to get a glass of water. With longer projects, try to lengthen the time to a few days or weeks. This step allows the writer to gain perspective by "stepping back". Mostly, it allows the writer time for the subject to settle in their mind, plus it gives them time to mentally shift gears from writer to editor.

Undoubtedly, the most important property in the operation of electrical equipment is electromagnetism. It's the property of attraction and repulsion that enables motors, generators, solenoids, relays and other control equipment to function.Magnets can be classified as permanent or temporary by their ability to retain the magnetism. Normally, hardened steel or nickel-cobalt alloys are able to retain their magnetism indefinitely. These are called permanent magnets. In the electrical industry, they find many applications. Some of them are: electric meters

And if you use the loan for investment purposes, you can also deduct interest charges.Home Equity Loans Used For Home ImprovementsInterest on home equity loans used to build or improve a first or second home qualifies for the ho
3) ASSESS OBJECTIVELY
While reading over the copy, the writer must learn to view it as a reader. One should be neither overly critical, nor overly attached to certain pet phrases or side remarks, but simply read it as if reading it for the first time. When done earnestly, this will make any errors, flaws or awkward points more apparent.
4) BE BRUTAL
This is the most difficult step, especially for the young or insecure writer. Heck, it's tough for the pros. Think of the classic image of an editor-- from the old Superman comics, for instance, wielding his red-ink pen with flourish, only interested in the facts. Especially when writing articles or in business, this is your best ally. With this image in mind, really look at what is necessary to make a logical progression. One trick is to put yourself under an artificial word restriction. Nothing helps cut unneccesary copy better than a specific word limit.
5) CRISP, CONCISE, CLEAR
These are the "3-C's" of good writing. While each writer has his/her own way of expressing themselves (and, in the case of fiction, more latitude is acceptable), these three points are integral parts of any successful writing.
CRISP - A fresh or meaningful viewpoint. Take a stand. The purpose of writing is to say something-- so say it!
CONCISE - Do not wander from the point. At least, not without a reason that directly relates to the original idea.
CLEAR - Make a steady progression from beginning to end. Don't leave major gaps in the progression.
Whether a report, a novel, an essay or an article -- even in poetry or song -- this rule applies. While editing, a writer must ask themself if the work succeeds in these three areas. If it doesn't, WHY? Analyze when and where it strays, even if that means working backward to the beginning.
