Planning what to write about is easy, but translating your thoughts into words is pretty difficult. The last thing you want them to experience when reading your work is perplexity.

Warning: Brain Fog Detected

You are writing a piece of art and enjoying every move of your pen on your paper. You are excited to share your masterpiece with others and immerse readers directly from the first statement. Once done, you read it out loud to ensure it sounds good. However, there are mistakes that go unnoticed that create confusion to the readers regardless of the countless revisions and assessments, this in turn leads to ineffective communication of your message. You may have limitations regarding proficiency in text writing and that calls for professional help at this important stage to mitigate this problem.

Writing Requires a Process

You can’t just throw your audience into the darkness of your context and expect them to take action. They need guidance to understand what you are trying to communicate to them. Writing any type of document, whether academic or professional, requires a special writing process that should be taken into consideration and not haphazardly finished. You will have to ensure if the written content meets basic writing standards in terms of grammar, syntax, spelling, and punctuation or else, you create brain fog to your readers. Writing is not only about stating your ideas in paragraphs, it must undergo a process comprising five recognized stages: prewriting, drafting, revising, editing and proofreading, and publishing. Following a systematic technique in writing enriches coherence and creates an easy flow of ideas.

Planning what to write about is easy, but translating your thoughts into words is pretty difficult. The way you write what you want to write is way more important than the topic itself. The presentation of the words, sentence structure, and punctuation add precision and clarity to your paper. This highlights the significance of the last stage: Editing and Proofreading. At this critical phase your paper is either qualified for reading or needs to undergo urgent revision. Don’t make readers feel like they are solving a maze.

However, failed submission is not only due to the presence of grammatical and punctuation errors but inadequate language that sends false signals to readers. The last thing you want them to experience when reading your work is perplexity.

Don’t Let Your Readers Play the Guessing Game

The most destructive error in any piece of writing is the ambiguity of the intended message, where readers get confused about what you are trying to say. Misunderstandings are created when the writer doesn’t explain enough and thoroughly a complicated idea, especially when there is no trace of using synonyms or proper diction that help in context clues. Also, punctuation errors play a vital role in explaining the sentence structure. Misplaced use of commas can change the whole meaning of a sentence and mess up what you wish readers to grasp.

Resorting to professional editors to amend the final product will save you tons of time as well as the humiliation of rejection by various journals for publication. They will take care of your work to avoid failed submission and produce high-quality, intelligible documents. Only this way will you be able to have flawless publication-ready work.
