My writing is sloppy. Can anyone please suggest any resources where I can get feedback on my writing, or personalized instructions that will improve my processes to make me a better writer?
In the meantime I'll try to adopt this "one simple trick": each time I write a piece, I will read it out aloud to myself. If it is "tough on the ear" or I stumble while sight reading it, I will edit the offending section until it is neither.
Also, I'll continue to get LLMs to summarize the points in a given piece. If there's something I feel is missing in it's summary or appears to misinterpret an argument, then I shall edit accordingly.
Also, Also, two bad habits I will try to stop are 'disunity of pronoun', and using the 'royal we'. Disunity of Pronoun is this habit I have of switching between "you will find... you ever notice" to "we have this tendency" "we still don't know" and even "they cannot fathom" "I for one". And the Royal We is when I generalize human traits as immutable or universal, "we all need love" "we long for purpose", which is just kinda cringe.
Three! Three bad habits. [1]The third bad habit I intend to stop, INCLUDES writing too many "buts".[2] Here is an example:
"I really enjoy Direct Cinema documentaries because you're watching people just going about their tasks - they aren't performing to you. In Jacques Tati's Playtime there are many scenes of people watching other people going about their tasks but that is a scripted comedy not a Documentary. But I think the appeal works with both"
I'm no writer or editor but you could email me. I check my email every few days lemonhope@fastmail.com
