Edit for Clarity - Brute Force Editing Equals the Death of BAD Writing by Jan Verhoeff

Or not... Do you know how important good grammar is to high-quality Article Marketing? What about literary writing? Does it really make a difference?

You may be looking back over the years through the maze of "Run, Spot, Run." to see if grammar has an effect on real writing (or at least that which we recognize as REAL on the Internet). To glamorize or not to glamorize, that is the question... But will we perceive a benefit from staying on target and focusing on correct grammar?

The editor in me says, "Yes."

Those moments when you look back over your work and read failures from prior grammar lessons, you might want to think about the correct ways to express yourself.

Fix the spelling errors:

Nothing distracts from your message like bad spelling. Spell checker is effective for gross errors, but can't be relied upon for misuse of correctly spelled words. Read it again and look at those words. It benefits your article, your results and your reader.

Punctuation issues:

Nothing can be so wrongfully assumed as punctuation. Where you put the comma's can determine the entire meaning of the sentence. Ending a sentence with a question mark also changes the meaning of your words, along with the intonation of the voice. Check your punctuation.

Grammar blunders:

Dangling participles, misplaced modifiers and presumptuous propositions determine the value in your content. Writing correctly means you get the readers attention, and respect. Have you ever heard the way other writers talk about bad grammatical errors? Embarrassing!

You be the force behind the red ink when editing your own work. Effective editing makes writing quality content a snap. If you're ready to get started, go visit http://writerthoughts.com/ and see what other tips and tidbits you might learn to help improve your writings.
