[Ansteorra] Documentation Advice

[Genie Barrett]

Thank you, Mistress Hanna, for these timely words.

I also wanted to direct eyes to the article in the current Tournaments
Illuminated, has a hawk on the front, on documentation.  I was
wondering how her suggestions might dovetail with local judging
preferences.

Thanks so much

> Edit yourself by:
> 1) Print a copy of your paper.
>   IMPORTANT: Reading it on the computer will not be the same. Only a print copy will let you see some mistakes.
> 2) VERY IMPORTANT: Wait 2-48 hours before looking at it!
>   The time delay helps give your mind and eyes a beak.
> 3) Read paper with a pen in hand – any color that’s NOT black ink.
> 4) Edit yourself.
>   See the missing words, the “country vs. county” moments, the over long sentences, the out of order steps, the “Oh, I should add this!” or the “This doesn’t go here!” changes you want to make.
> 5) Wait an hour (or three) after the self-edit.
> 6) Open your computer file and make the changes you still agree with.
> 7) Repeat steps 1-6 one more time before you print your final copies, as time before the event allows.

> I hope this helps out someone. Best of Luck to everyone.  If you have a more specific documentation question, never be scared to ask.
