Editing Your Paper

While it is not easy to remember all of the rules for grammar, usage, and mechanics and to apply them to your writing, it is not hard to learn some general rules that you can apply over and over again.  Learning how to catch and correct your errors will only make your writing stronger and will help make sure that your points come across to your reader in a clear and concise way.  Also, enlisting the help of others during this step of the writing process can be very beneficial.
