Did I write, right?!


                Tish is my Bolg, you’re redaing my Bolg. Yuo are probly wundering what this crzay jumble fo words is all aoubt. Alright, so if you have been following my blog you know that my published work usually does not contain (many, if any) mistakes! You might be thinking, what the heck was that first sentence about, am I right? Well, as you might or might not know I started this blog as an assignment for my composition course. Throughout the term, I have been learning about many writing techniques, prewriting methods, proper citation for references, paper formatting, and types of editing.
As you read my first sentence you probably made changes as you edited my mistakes in your head, believe it or not this is a form of peer review (easy right?); this step of the writing process usually occurs after the first-draft and self-editing stages are complete. Peer review is when another student or colleague reviews your work and provides their feedback with the intention to help you improve the quality of your work, if possible using constructive (respectful) criticism.
Next time you are working on an important project, composition, or other type of work consider asking someone else to check it out for you. Many people cannot edit their own work because as we review we see what we meant to say/portray and not what is actually said/done.
That’s it for now, Cheers!
