How I Write
Refining Sentences and Dealing with Familiarity in Writing
To refine sentences effectively, trust the editing process rather than obsessing over getting it perfect in the first draft. Avoid overediting by charging ahead and completing the writing. When writing a book or a long article, battling familiarity with the text is crucial. Rereading the text multiple times can diminish the joy and surprise of reading it. To combat this, avoid rereading as you write each chapter to maintain a fresh perspective. Leaving notes for yourself and doing one pass edit after finishing a chapter helps in keeping the text engaging. Changing the format and place where you read your work can also aid in maintaining a fresh outlook towards the content and identifying any duplicated sections.
