Typically Heavy Edit Grouping

Overview

When you submit a document for a detailed quote, the administrator checks the word count and assesses the level of editing required. WordsRU prices within a range of three main edit groupings: light, medium and heavy, each with several gradations between.

Consistent with the premise that a picture (or an example) tells a thousand words, below is an example of a typically HEAVY edit grouping.  Remember that there are several gradations between these edit groupings to permit administrators to exercise discretion and fine tune pricing so that you never pay more than is necessary to achieve a quality editing outcome for your document or manuscript.

"Get it down. Take chances. It may be bad, but it's the only way you can do anything really good. "
— William Faulkner
American novelist and poet (1897 – 1962)

Heavy editing indicators:

Your document requires extensive changes to correct serious problems with grammar,spelling, punctuation and word usage generally. The text is often awkward, unclear, fragmented or ambiguous. Sentence structure is generally weak and paragraphing frequently non existent.  Your themes and ideas are not expressed to their full advantage and are often misleading. Typically, reconstruction and reorganization of the text is necessary. Formatting and overall presentation usually require attention.

By the time you are four or five years old, you have a strong conception of time. If you have never had problems with time in your own house, you can be sure that you will in school where any liberal ideas you may have about how to spend it are going to get trampled upon. You will then be taught to adhere to some basic time principles.  You will to learn how to tell the time and how to stop day-dreaming.  (According to some of the principles discussed in chapter 3, this may be the most productive time you will ever spend.)  A school’s task is to teach you how to become a good citizen, how to read and write and so forth.   Although they are very competent at this, they are not very good at teaching creativity.   This is not one of their strengths, as most people who go into teaching are not very spontaneous by nature.
The bell tells you when to start class, when to go to recess. Other forces control what you are allowed to think about and for how long. Now you may not be much of a mathematician at 10 a.m., you may be better at it at 4 p.m. Schools do not take this into account, so your life becomes a compromise with time.  This is why we are now looking for some answers to the questions that you are asking.   The good thing is that you already know the answers, though you possibly do not know how to phrase the questions.
Imagine yourself then at the next phase in your life, when you are about 8 and the next curved ball comes at you, through a test with a time limit.  Not only do they want you to recall things you learned 12 months before, but they tell you how fast you have to do it. This is where a lot of our problems in dealing with time come from. Your brain needs to be trained to be fast and to think about and then recall the right answers when you need them.  But have you ever heard a song on the radio and instantly knew all of the words, even if you have not heard it for years? Or you can’t think of the artist, and then in the middle of the night out comes the answer, even if you can’t remember why you wanted to know it in the first place. This is how the mind really works.  It does not function in standard time but works at its own level.   If you can play with standard time in relation to how your mind truly works, the result can be harmonious.
Time is a constant that you dip in and out of in your mind.  If you want to achieve control in your life and make it fruitful, then you need to set objectives in relation to time. The primary focus should be the place where you want to end up, and you can work towards that goal with the help of this book.

    • If you believe that you can make changes in your life, then using time more effectively will help you. Remember though that it will only work if you have a goal for that extra time.  If you don’t, then why go to the trouble of making a change.  Without a clear goal it will not work, but simply make you more pessimistic about the future.
