Make sure you have transitions Don’t’ assume the reader knows what you mean—make clear, concrete examples No You’s/second person in your writing Circle the words you are unsure of spelling, write SP above them and try to figure them out during editing—don’t let spelling stop your efforts Prep for Timed Writing II 1.
