I still remind myself to keep the writing simple and appropriate. It's best to write what comes to mind in the first draft and edit/revise later, this ensures I don't forget important information I wanted to include in the piece. Spelling, grammar, and tone can be adjusted after I jot down my initial thoughts. Once I have written everything I think I need to write, the revision will begin. This is when spelling, grammar, and tonal checking will need to take center stage. I finished the sentences I started and made sure what I wrote made sense and flowed well. I would finish writing and find some people to read what I had written. Opinions, other than mine, are more important at this stage. If it makes sense to them, is written in a professional tone, and is something that should be shared, I would move forward with trying to publish the piece. If not, I would sit down and review the piece again. Often others find errors and mistakes that I myself cannot see. It's always a good idea to have others proofread my projects. Once my piece gets my and others' seal of approval, I would submit my work to the journal of my choice. It is a good idea to submit articles to only one journal at a time, having multiple journals interested in a job creates an unethical situation. Once rejected by a publisher, I am free to submit the file
