This reading provides us with a lot of reminders to think of while we're writing. Several of them make me think about my writing, and how I can apply these tips.

• Overwriting
• sometimes I feel i get a bit wordy, or add in unnecessary text. When I review my paper later, I usually delete a lot of information I don't feel needs to be included. 
• Shortcuts for the cost of clarity
• As far as explaining things effectively, I have to remind myself that I have to explain things as if the person reading does not know. I've done the research so I know what I'm trying to say, but the reader doesn't. 
• Revising and Re-writing
• I have to admit this is one of my biggest  flaws. I hate rereading my papers and i usually don't change them that much when I do. If I don't have a peer editor of some sort, my papers usually don't get edited. I really, really need to work on this. Its odd, because I actually really like editing other papers, I just never want to do my own.
