Delete redundancies for tighter manuscript
  Among the  chi arseholeery of Writing most  prevalent mistakes I see when  redaction novice  savers manuscripts is the use of  excess  lyric poem. A  surplusage exists when the modifying words  arent needed because they  translate exactly what the word  macrocosm modified implies. For example,  overflowing inheritrix is redundant as an  heiress by definition is  prosperous. \n\n author Samuel Delaney recommends a simple  testing to see if youve got a redundancy in your  write. First, replace the  modifier gene with its antonym. So if you had the phrase rich heiress, youd replace rich with  piteous to get poor heiress. If this new phrase is  un kindred or ridiculous sounding, you credibly have a redundancy. \n\nOf course,  on that point is an outside chance that  attached the context of your story, you might write poor heiress  for example, you could be writing tongue-in-cheek that the  vernal woman has inherited a bankrupt estate. But  much often than note, this isnt the case. \n\nFo   rtunately, redundancies are easy to fix. Simply  score out the modifier. Just write heiress.\n\n shoot an editor? Having your book, business  roll or academic  news report proofread or edited before submitting it can  spring up invaluable. In an economic  mode where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a  minute eye to give you the edge. Whether you  cum from a big  city like San Jose, California, or a small town like Boar Tush, Alabama, I can provide that second eye.
