How To 10x Your Editing As A Writer Without Paying A Dime
Here's what you need to know.
You don't need editors and trendy AI tools to improve of your editing.
So many writers out there think they need a team of editors to help them with their writing. And once they have that, 'all is well'. That's not quite.
You can (effortlessly) do all the editing yourself.
And this will not cost you a single penny.
But before I show you this, you need to know the three most common mistakes that cause your editing to go wrong:
1. Speed-reading Your Work
People often speed-read their work, cause they believe there's nothing much to see.
And in fact: THERE IS. Even though you wrote everything 100% by yourself, if you go through it slowly, you will be amazed as to how much mistakes were made. And it often doesn't feel this way at first cause when it was written, it didn't seem that way.
So you have to slow down the next time you sit down and edit your work.
2. Checking For Errors Immediately After Writing
This one has to be the worst.
This is cause the mind moves very fast. And because of this, it thinks that all is well so there's nothing wrong with the writing.
A way to fix this is to give a gap between writing and editing. This has been a useful tactic for hundreds of writers. Cause it gives you some space to rest.
And after doing that, this can help you see things that might have been invisible at first.
3. Not Reading Out The Work
If you want to edit far better overnight, read it out.
This is cause it will help you overcome the other mistakes mentioned above. Cause it forces your brain to zero in on what you're working on.
And now that you know these, here's a simple way to improve your editing:
Reading It Out
This is singlehandedly the the cheapest and best approach.
As this fixes all the mistakes already mentioned. This approach is also a time saver:
• Instead of going over your work several times just once or twice reading it out can make a difference
• Instead of going through things quickly without realization, this helps your mind to zero-in on things
• Which will ultimately 10x your improvement
This is how you get more done without a single dime leaving your pocket.
