Blog #4 - Completing is the last stage of the writing process, why is it important?

The completing process I call the editing phase. It is the last stage of the writing process. It is the most important stage of the writing process. At this stage we:

• revise for audience- Is the level of detail appropriate for my audience?
• revise for purpose- Is my purpose clearly stated for the reader?
• revise for form- Do I follow the established form of the document I am writing?

Also one should ALWAYS  check for 

1. Grammar
2. Sentence structure
3. Word choice
4. Punctuation
5. Capitalization
6. Spelling
7. Citation 

Whenever I am writing an essay, I do it late nights when I am really tired, sleepy and hungry! During those times my brain might not be functioning too well.  I will be there typing and jotting down, but some very important points usually slip me. One can write non stop on a topic of their choice but if these three points above are not considered then the essay is useless. 

 If you have written something, you must  have intended for someone to read it, even if that person is your self.  So ensure that the completing/editing process is one that is always done, even if you think it is perfect, always look over and edit  two to three times or even more.
