When I went back to look at my draft, I decided to focus on taking out unneeded words. I often create unnecessarily long sentences, so taking out extra words helps to make my piece more concise. I also looked back at the places where I used “however” in order to make sure my punctuation was correct. If it was connecting two independent clauses I made sure that I added a semicolon before and a comma after. This is because it is a transitional expression and not a coordinating conjunction. Finally, I also worked on getting rid of run-on sentences by adding punctuation where it was needed or just separating two clauses and making them each their own sentence. This helped with the flow of my writing as well as taking away some of my long sentences.
