When you feel like writing, you express what your mind dictates or even what your heart feels. In order to create a good non fictional content with good quality also, you have to be informative also. However, if it is a fictional content, don’t exaggerate too much. Furthermore, you should also consider how you are going to format your article. Basic knowledge about English language is highly needed. Especially, when you have to create an article and then proofread it down.

Check each sentence if it has no spelling errors, wrong punctuation marks or if the grammar is a little bit incorrect. After writing your first draft, proofreading and editing your text is the logical next step. Before that, though, we recommend conducting an initial reading, while writing down your thoughts about the material. Doing this will give you a more complete view of the amount of editing the work needs before sitting down to get on the job.

Reading your work lets you think of how will you change your draft and what are the things that needs to be improve and alter whenever you see something wrong in it. When doing the initial reading, always resist the urge to begin editing. Even using a grammar check software isn’t that great of an idea. Correcting errors is a waste of time, as the reading might make it clear that you need to remove entire paragraphs. Can you imagine all that wasted work?

Instead of updating parts of the work, simply note them down. If you notice any particular weak points, write them down as well. Put down all of your thoughts about the material as you’re reading. This will serve as your basis for the eventual editing you’re going to perform.

During this phase, it’s important to keep your mind on the big picture, instead of obsessing on the details. How does the piece progress? Is the central message clear? Could it benefit from more facts? Does it trail off unnecessarily? Is your vision properly represented in the material?

Once you’ve gone through the piece and written down your thoughts, the next step is to organize your notes. Find which changes are necessary to the piece and which ones are mere cosmetic enhancements. You will likely go your own way at this point, making your decisions as you see fit.

Besides, there are people who manage to write long contents like for example when they want to write a novel or a story which really uses a lot of words, may be thousands of it. But then, if they are going to edit it down literally, without reading what needs to be added or change, then they will found their selves deleting some parts of their content making it shorter than the usual length of it.

Now you’re wasting a lot of words and you don’t want to be like one of them right? SO manage your plan well and formulate the right ideas you have to insert in the note after you began reading your draft.
