Tip of the Day

Outline your ideas: Before you start writing, create an outline to organize your thoughts and ensure you stay on topic.

Let your work sit: Step away from a finished draft for a day or two. Returning with "fresh eyes" allows you to spot awkward phrasing and errors you might have missed.

Know your audience: Adjust your tone and style to be appropriate for the intended reader. Formal writing avoids slang and contractions

Use tools: Don't be afraid to utilize online tools like Grammarly to help identify potential errors.
