1. Know What You Are Writing About: You see this mistake in many students essays that they write for school, they simply do not know or understand what they are writing about. If you are confused about the subject you are writing about, change it to something you know about if possible. If not, do research on the subject, ask your professors, or experts on the subject.
2. Let Your Own Voice Be Heard: In college students are writing their essays excluding there own thoughts, and writing what the professor wants to hear. They put their opinions and ideas aside to please the reader. It's OK to disagree with the reader, as long as you back it up with valid information. People like to hear the other side sometimes.
3. Stick To Your Topic: In order to make writings seem longer, many writers start to ramble about irrelevant topics not related to there main point. Know enough about your main point so that you can stick with it throughout your whole writing and keep the audience interested.
4. Stick to What You Understand and Know: Many people put things (words, phrases etc.) in their writings in order to seem smarter then they are without knowing what they really mean. This in fact would just make you seem more stupid instead of smarter witch was your original goal. Stick to things you know. Be you.
5. Proofread: This is such a simple task that so many writers skip. Look over your work two or three times, then let some of your friends look over it again. They see stuff that you might have skipped. The more eyes the better.
