1. Concentration is Key
If you’re going to spot mistakes, then you need to concentrate. That means getting rid of distractions and potential interruptions. Switch off the cell phone, turn off the television or radio and stay away from the email.
*this rule for me is really #1! It totally makes the difference. Seems like a no brainer but how many of us actually turn off the cell, tv, and radio???
Edit actively. Go through your draft carefully, pencil in hand. Actually touch each word with your pencil. Look especially at word endings. Have you dropped any s or ed endings? Do subjects and verbs agree? Does each pronoun have a clear antecedent?
*i used this from the POWA site. Works wonders!
