How to Raise your GPA: College Essay Editing

Let's Get This Party Started Right ...

Howdy Ho. Glad to be back, this time with another "How to Raise Your GPA" article focusing on College Essay Editing. If there is one thing worse than writing an essay, it's the horrible process we all like to call editing. Going back through your words, after spending so much time on just creating them, is like pulling out teeth without the nova caine, or something like that.
As an English major, I understand the importance of a good essay. What I didn't used to know is that editing and revising, spending the time to go over your work, is 70% of the process. It is almost more important than the creation itself (although you need the first draft to be able to come up with a second).
Any, here is a list of tips to make the revision process easier. I will, in the next few months, provide more articles on writing and getting good grades. If you're interested, I suggest subscribing to my HubPages article feed right here, or you can check out all my other articles here, or you can follow me by clicking on that little thing over there to the right that says "follow".
In addition, make sure to check out the resources and links below. There are great sites that help analyze your essay, offer more detailed explanations of comma splices, and of course, my recommended book by Scott Young on how to Learn More, Study Less .

As always, I love comments and questions, so don't be afraid to ask.

Head on over to "How to Raise your GPA:  College Essay Editing" for the full article and all the great tips.
