The Importance of Proof Reading
By: Claudette
This is something that a lot of newer members tend not to pay attention to. But it’s something that I take quite seriously!
Before posting, read your work two or three, even four times over if you must. Try to catch any typos, spelling or grammar errors you can find. That way, we critics don’t have to do all the work for you. I’ve noticed a lot of newbies posting with so many errors! And I constantly find myself saying, “You should read over your work a few times…” and it really is important.
If you’re new, and I go to read something by you, it’s a little off putting to see typo after typo, which could easily be picked up by not only spell check but a quick read through. Having a nice, clean, typo free (to the biggest extent possible, even I have typos on occasion!) will make a good impression.
So, consider looking over your poem, story, or even post a few times before hitting that submit button. It could save us a lot of trouble!
