Avoid Literary Devices

Literary devices such as metaphor, simile, onamontapia, and etc. can take away
the credibility of your writing. These devices often do not lend themselves to
fact and can often leave your readers feeling that your paper is based of
assumptions and opinions. They may be more closed minded to what you are
saying if they do not think you are competent.

NOT BE AFRAID OF FAILURE!

As a writer, you may not
have the best work from the
first draft. This is okay,
because no one is perfect. It
is not bad to be wrong.
Accept critism and try your
best to make your paper the
best it can possibly be. Also,
not everyone is going to
agree with you point of view
