This one is really important and some time you wont accept it if someone point it out as well. That's why I always take the help of one of my friend whose thought is just opposite to me. ZK@Internet Marketing Blog´s lastest post..Twitter Giveaway Contest - Win 5 Blog Blazers Books

Blogging is such a fluid medium, though, that it’s hard to have someone else edit your work. It would slow down the process and change the dynamic, Great guide.thanks for sharing…..

A few grammar mistakes does not a poor writer make. Writing well isn't just about grammar, so I wouldn't worry. And, as far as using "and" at the beginning of a sentence, I do that a lot, too. I think that's fine in conversational, informal writing. -- Gina Gina Chen´s lastest post..The future of newspapers: print v. digital

I am told that I am a great writer, but there are times where I go against many critical errors. Sometimes I will miss the apostrophe between the “it” and “s” for “it is”… I can’t remember for the love of me which it is possessive and “it is”, but when I think of the word “It’s a TRAP!”… I am thinking “it’s” is “it is”, hopefully.

And I also have a style of using “And” at the beginning of sentences.

I know what you mean. The editing, refining is tedious.

I’m not a fan of an “automatic solution.” The one thing computers don’t get that humans (or most of them) do is context.

A computer is great at telling you if words are spelled correctly or even if a comma is misplaced. But they can’t tell if what you write makes sense or conveys what you mean. They can’t tell if irony or sarcasm works.

Only a human can tell that.

With that said, I suppose an editing program is better than not editing at all.

Editing is one of my most major problems. I find it extremely boring and tedious... especially if it's for a long articles... or even a book. I know the stuff we write on our first round is not exactly our best work, but sometimes I just couldn't bring myself to just do it! I'm looking for a software solution to it but I've read a lot of negative comments about an automatic solution. What do you think? Have you considered an automatic solution?
