Autobiographical Incident, Proofreading

I relax when I get to the proofreading stage. I've done most of the work, and all that's left is to polish my essay by correcting simple errors.

Before I begin, I try to put my paper aside for a day or two. When I come back, mistakes are easier to find. And I always use the Proofreading Guidelines. It reminds me of common mistakes.
