I was just rereading some of my previous posts across all of my blogs and… ish! I really should learn how to edit my work before clicking on that “publish” button. Some mistakes I always commit are wrong grammar, redundant words, missing words or letters, wrong or missing punctuation, and of course misspelled words.
I write my entries on Microsoft Word first so there shouldn’t be excuses for misspelled words but well, I think I have the knack of ignoring underlined words. This and some minor mistakes are because of carelessness and the major ones are due to my limited knowledge of English.
I do read my posts before I publish them but I suppose the problem is that I just wrote them and they’re still in my head. Some good writers suggest that you should do your editing at least a day after the writing. In this way your mind is sort of refreshed and therefore, it will see mistakes better.
Thing is, I don’t exactly have the luxury of not publishing my post immediately after writing them because I always feel that my blogs are screaming for posts and that they’ll die if I deny them another day of updating them.
This post, like many others, will be posted a minute after I decided that it is done. I most probably have a lot of mistakes again… I know… but… well, I will try harder to be better at editing next time.
