Avoid common writing mistakes with these tips
Mistakes in you language can harm your copy and would not help much in achieving your marketing goals. It is important to proofread you copy before you share it with your prospects online.
The Content Marketing Institute columnist Ahava Leibtag has shared seven fixes to deal with common writing mistakes.
Ahava says, “When you reframe writing as a practice, you can sit in the discomfort of knowing it’s never going to be completely easy. One of the joys of writing is that as soon as you reach the next level, the next mountain peak is staring at you. It’s like yoga, Pilates, golf, or medicine or law – it’s called a practice because when you stick with it you will improve.
But, as with any practice, there are things you can put in place to make it easier. I’m examining some techniques so you can have more writing tools to add to your toolbox.
Monkey mind of writing
Sometimes, when I sit down to write, thoughts are flowing through my head like a mighty river. But they won’t translate to the page the way I want them to. I developed two techniques to combat that monkey voice:
- Write anyway and worry about editing later
- Diagnose when I’m being sloppy or lazy, or using an easy technique to get out of working through the challenge”.
