The final editing act I perform, before submitting a story, is to do a number of quick checks. Specifically I look at the usage of homonyms and depending upon my read throughs, words that I may joined differently (i.e. nightgown or night gown).

My standard checklist so far consists of:

  • their/there/they're
  • your/you're
  • wear/where
  • here/hear
  • then/than
  • our/are
  • no/know
  • new/knew
  • to/too/two - I need to do a better job on these

I was wondering what other quick hit checks others recommend to perform?
