Now that the niceties are out of the way, lifehacker.com once again has great advice to offer about editing what your write. That is, knowing how to improve the words you churn out yourself.
Personally, I don't print everything out, but I have a pretty significant amount of experience at this. The Take a Break, Pretend You're the Intended Audience and—especially—Be Ruthless parts are pure gold.
Back to more congenial matters. Have a great, festive holiday (whatever it is you celebrate) and I hope the upcoming new year is your best one ever. Heck, I hope it's our best one ever!
