Rereading and revising text.
Quite often, we just keep on writing without minding the grammar or anything. Even I do it sometimes. While it's fine because we can write and express ourselves freely how we want, there's still a plus point for those posts that are really well-edited and presented.
It's Sunday, and I just suddenly felt the urge to share about this topic at this very moment. It's been a while since I talked about such a thing since I have focused on sharing more about personal experiences and self-improvement stuff, but let's seize the moment and learn about the importance of improving our articles. There's always room for improvement, and it will always be better if we apply it.
So why is it important to be mindful of these matters? It is not only for refinement or making ourselves better at it; it is also crucial in imparting the right message to our readers.
Sometimes, words or sentences can be playful. For instance, you thought that what you were implying was the same as what you have just written, but in reality, the construction was stated in a different manner, making the readers feel confused. Using the wrong or inappropriate words can sometimes cause misunderstanding. Hence, it is really important to reread the text so you can pinpoint the mistakes, if there are any.
The notion that when you reread it, you'll just end up rewriting everything is something that you shouldn't be discouraged by. While it's true at some points, you can actually notice that it's not the main reason why you're doing it. In reality, you are building a good reading habit, which helps you a lot in writing your next posts. Why? It's because you would know if there were any mistakes before even publishing it.
On the other hand, revising is also a crucial point. It is undoubtedly hard, especially when you need to improve in the correct use of grammar, punctuation, and the like. I, for one, am not good enough when it comes to it, but as they say, if there's a will, there's a way. I make use of online sites that offer free services for correcting grammar mistakes.
Grammarly, for example, is beneficial and effective. The free version is just amazing, and the paid features are more than great. It definitely helps anyone having a hard time or being anxious about their grammar in their academic articles and emails, among others. As it says, it makes our writing clear, engaging, and free from plagiarism.
In a nutshell, rereading and revising produce fruitful outcomes. It reinforces understanding and further connects our thoughts and ideas to our readers through the suitable delivery of messages. Of course, we would see the effect if we applied it.
That is all. Thank you for reading. Have a great day!
