Editing Tid bit help!
Dlofc84
#1The hardest thing for me is editing. Grammar, trying to remember every rule to English plus the exceptions. No matter how many times I went through my book there were always more corrections and more problems. And you can top that off with any editing services cost thousands of dollars (I looked into it). So I did a little research into some free tricks for at least spelling, grammar, and punctuation. I found there are several free editing websites that are available to run your work through. The one I use (and I am NOT ADVERTISING THEM) is grammarly and mainly because they have a plugin for chrome so that it will check the grammar real time as you are typing. It is not perfect but it is better than nothing. Remember, nothing replaces human eyes or the intuition of the human brain. Others will see the things you can't and can suggest a point of view you would never think of. My biggest help is the forums, not just here but across many websites. If I am having problems or I am not having feedback anything I just give a shout out and someone is there. Don't expect free advise though remember to recipocate it back.
