A common pitfall for any writer is to focus grammar and mechanics. Unfortunately, grammar and mechanics, though important, will not make you a great writer. It is content and organization that will make you a better writer. Content refers to what you're writing about, what sources you're using, what ideas you're tying together, and what conclusions you’re coming to. Building your content and making it flow well will be the organization of your paper. Introducing your ideas and having a clear strategy throughout your paper will keep your readers reading.
