Quality Control a. Start early . Begin drafting your deliverables and papers well before they are due. If you write in a rush, quality suffers. Revise often . Your memos and papers should go through multiple drafts before they reach their intended audience.
Writers are naturally poor judges of the clarity and correctness of their own writing.
Arrange for a spouse or friend to proofread a good draft of each deliverable for clarity, logic, and correctness. Encourage them to be frank in their criticisms and suggestions. Writing criticisms are a precious gift. No not rely exclusively on spell check and grammar check for quality control. As the following poem demonstrates, spell check provides little or no protection against many common spelling and usage mistakes.
