Editing is Elementary Watson

I could just picture Sherlock Homes explaining to Watson how vital it is to revise and edit your documents. Even the writing masters don't just produce a perfect creation on the first shot. Writing is an excruciating process. It is a skill that takes a lifetime to develop. Sequoia trees don't just become giants over night. Sequoia's take centuries to become those sages of the forest. Growth in writing needs the right nutrients to develop; the right design, a coherent organization, an appealing content, and grammatically correct sentences. The previous posting discussed the design of a document in detail. It is necessary we have the right headings, art, visuals, typography, and spacing. The organization also needs the right opening followed by a clear agenda. Then we need a body and closing that reflects that particular agenda. Afterward we examine the content. We must ask ourselves if it is clear, complete, correct, and compelling. If this is already been thoroughly examined we can focus on the paragraphs. We focus on the organization, coherence, length, unity, and development or the paragraph. Finally we must review the sentences and the sentence structures contained in the document. It is clear that revising can be a tedious process with all of these necessary steps. But the value of it far exceeds the work involved. Compelling documents will launch your career to new heights and places. You might even learn to be more impressive than Sherlock himself.
