I have always felt reasonably comfortable in editing and providing specific details when writing a paper. After reading through chapters 55-66, I realized very quickly that the chapters will provide me with more information to make me a stronger writer. I understand writing, but I see how easy it can be to use capitalization, apostrophes, commas, etc. in the incorrect way. Over the years of my writing experiences, I have made plenty of errors. Some of these errors include comma splices, run-ons, fragments, irregular verbs, and other examples that are stated throughout these few chapters. After reading all of the information and tips in chapters 55-66, I believe that when writing a paper that it will be easier to see and correct my usual mistakes. If any trouble is occurring when creating the paper, I can easily refer back to these pages for guidance and help. This book, “How To Write Anything,” teaches you what to watch out for and what you should and should not include in your writing. These tips will bring out the best editing skills and the best writing techniques in my papers. What I enjoy most about reading this book is I can use the knowledge from the chapters to help me relate and apply the skills to make my writing better. The tips are so simple and to the point that I will be able to make mental notes. I find this very beneficial to my writing process because the mind is a quick source and these tips can contribute to a successful piece of writing.
Just remember to pull those chapters back out before turning in a final draft!
