Grammar Software

You can’t do the impossible.  That means, giving yourself one hour before deadline to scrounge up a 2,000-word essay probably won’t work, no matter how you cut it.  If you allot reasonable time, however, these things should help you finish up on the dot.

1. Start by brainstorming your topic.  What do you already know about it?  Separating what you know from what you don’t can help you streamline the necessary research.
2. Draw up an outline.  This will help you define the structure of the piece, without having to worry about the actual writing at the same time.
3. If you’re like most people, you can start drafting directly from the outline.   Don’t bother adjusting the structure or revising the outline during drafting.  Follow it as you created it.  Worry about corrections later.
4. In case you still find it hard to draft from the outline, you take an extra step.  Take each item in your outline and come up with one or two sentences for it.  Once you’ve gone through the list, start piecing them together as your draft.
5. Editing is where the real magic of writing happens.   This is where you read through the piece, identify weak points and revise them to your satisfaction.  Good editing often makes the difference between a C paper and an A, so don’t skip it.  Unless, of course, you’re too pressed for time.  In that case, going to the next step will often suffice.
6. Use the best English writing software money can buy.  Seriously.  Most of the advanced ones are so good that you can earnestly rely on it to do more than fix spelling and grammar, going so far as to help your writing achieve better readability and more elegant style.
