My 11th
secret for writing well is to write more than one draft. Having multiple drafts of
writing can help you make connections within your ideas. By comparing your
drafts, you can pull ideas and words from each one to complete your work.
Whenever I receive
a writing assignment, I tend to write multiple drafts to get all of my ideas
out of my head and onto paper. By doing this, I can see the most important
points and the best ideas to put into my assignment. I also feel like this tip
helps cut down the time it takes for me to complete an assignment. I will
already have all of my ideas down on paper and I will just need to put them
together into one piece of work.
3 Mistakes:
1. I was tagged in a Facebook post,
in which my cousin messaged me and said, “you need to show you’re dad this!”
The use of the word “you’re” is a mistake in this example because “you’re” is
short of “you are.” My cousin should have said, “you need to show your dad
this!”
2. I saw a poster advertising
skydiving. It showed a picture of someone skydiving and the text said, “You
going next?” I think this is a sentence fragment; the better use of words would have
been, “Are you going next?”
3. I received an email from a
restaurant promoting a sale on “burgers and fry’s.” The correct plural formatting
for a fry is “fries.”
Excellent idea for your 11th secret. I could definitely benefit from writing a few extra drafts to cut out all the extra fluff. Fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteYour idea about creating multiple drafts is so helpful. I've never thought about doing that. I can see how that would help you write the best paper possible. Also that is hilarious about the "burgers and fry's."
ReplyDeleteYou should always have multiple drafts. I find something wrong in my writing nearly every time I check. Drafting and re-drafting really helps prevent errors and keep your thoughts clear.
