Editing and Revising

The word "then" can often be replaced with alternatives such as "subsequently," "afterward," or "next," depending on the context. In some cases, using phrases like "at that time" or "following that" may also work. It's important to consider the specific meaning and flow of the sentence to choose the best substitute.

When elaborating on an essay you should explain what the essay means to you. You can use examples from the essay, but tell more about the ideas that they create in your own mind.

It's nothing more than a false ego. People have to work in teams to get any major project done. Bill Gates for example is likely the first name when mentioning Microsoft, but there have been and still are many hands involved many of them so

involved that Microsoft would have never made it if they were removed from it.

This is what capitalism brings, wealth and acknowledgement for the few when there are many hands involved.

To repair comma splice and run-on sentence errors, you can use the following methods:

1. Separate the clauses into distinct sentences by adding a period between them.
2. Use a semicolon to connect closely related independent clauses.
3. Insert a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) after a comma.
4. Rephrase one of the clauses to make it dependent, often using subordinating conjunctions like although or because.

yes, a bibliography does come before or after the glossary. That is the answer to the question YOU asked. Remember to use precise wording when asking questions.

If you want to get a national identity card from the government, it's highly likely you'll need to do so by completing a form, rather than writing a letter. Find out from them what form you need to fill out, and any documents you may need to submit with the form, as well as whether there is a processing fee. You can find this information by searching your government's web site, phoning your local authority, or writing a letter to them. If you write a letter to them, don't forget to include your own address in the letter.

A comma is not required there, but it would make the sentence read better.

Yes, a comma is typically used after a phrase that starts with "when" if it comes at the beginning of a sentence. For example: "When the bell rang, the students rushed out of the classroom."

Paragraph formatting.

It is an elaborate way of stating something and it is usally unclear.

Ex. (per John M. Lannon:Technical Communication 11th ed)

1) As per your request - instead write: As you requested

2) Contingent upon receipt of - instead write: As soon as we receive

Strictly speaking, if you are trying to get that bedroom then it isn't yours yet. so I would recommend, I want the bedroom on the top floor. If you get it, then you can call it your bedroom.

If you are looking for specific steps, do not bother. Each successful writer seems to use a slightly different technique. Fiction and non fiction writers however use totally different techniques.

Non fiction writers create the outline. They recreate it in far more detail. Then they fill in the details. They frequently spend more time on the outline than on the text itself.

Fiction writers each have their own technique. When Margaret Mitchell wrote Gone With the Wind, she wrote it backwards. She wrote the last chapter first, then the next to the last chapter and so forth.

All fiction writers constantly revise. TK Rowling revised the first page of Harry Potter 15 times. Katherine Revised her novel Christy, 49 times.

Jack London would revise his material using colored pencils. He would use a different color each day.

Finally, the manuscript is typed and sent to the editor or agent. The editor suggests changes. With many novels, the editor removes the first 4 chapters! Then the editor creates galley proofs. Then the editor creates page proofs. Then the editor creates the book. So most of the writing process occurs in the revising process.

Of course, everything begins with the idea. One woman used the story board technique. She put pictures around her room in the order she wanted the story to go. Another woman went to the Holy Land. As she went from site to site, she imagined what one historical figure was saying to another.

Put yourself in the dangerous place. Imagine you are Jane trying to hide from the man who just escaped death row for rape and murder. You are Bill with one bullet in your gun. If you do not hit the charging grizzly in his heart he will eat you.

A good writer puts you in the scene.

prewriting, writing, editing.

It always goes at the end of the sentence. It may seem counter-intuitive, but that is according to the MLA guidelines. Also, the period goes before the number as demonstrated here (123).

Revision reinforces memory.

Revision may also help to clarify matters that may not have been entirely clear in the past.

Revision may reveal important matters previously overlooked.

A sentence with furthermore: Furthermore, he left orders not to be disturbed. Your welcome for this answer for all those folks who wonder this question. :*

Which of the following would not be a step in the pre-writing process?

For the singular "editor", received wisdom says the abbreviation is "ed." - with a period - because "editor" does not end on a d (as "ed" does).

Similarly/conversely (take your pick!) the abbreviation for the plural, "editors" is often given as "eds" - no period because both "editors" and "eds" end in s.

I think this is a bit daft - it makes reference lists look inconsistent. And of course "clean" text is all the fashion these days e.g. no period after "Mr" etc.

So I prefer just "eds" and "ed". But ultimately one must (usually) go with the publishers styles.

Revision proceeds editing. At this stage the author rewords the given current document so that it is easier to read, makes more sense, more clearly portrays their thoughts etc. The author makes sure that the overall document is in sync with the given thesis, its structure is satisfactory and there are no unsupported assertions or incongruent facts, etc.

Editing is the final stage in writing. The author/editor checks for spelling, grammar, consistent writing style, incorrect data or word usage etc.

I personally love the English language and am saddened when I see it bastardised. I also know how to be grammatically correct but admit to being somewhat lazy when it comes to implementing proper grammer in my writings.
