ISOLATE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS
Isolating specific problems can help give objectivity to one’s personal work. One way to isolate specific things is to circle them on a paper draft and look at them one by one.

ISOLATE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS
For example: underline all nouns and then circle all verbs. (for digital editing, colors work better).For nouns, check articles, number agreement.For Verbs, check agreement, tense, and form.
