  5. Clarity/Precision • Say what you mean and mean what you say! • Being vague or ambiguous suggests that you’re unclear about your story • If you’re unsure about your story, your READER will be unsure about your story

  6. Grammatical/Mechanical Correctness • Correct grammar • Improves communication • Allows audience to connect • Incorrect grammar/spelling • Jolts your reader out of the story • Implies lack of care (or knowledge!)
