Depending on where you are submitting your writing, different things will be asked for. One thing many clients require is articles of a certain length, often determined by a word count. Many word processing programs will show you the word count of your article in the properties menu, but depending on where you're doing your writing and what machine you are using it can be necessary to do it another way. Here's a free online word count tool I use:

Most publisher's also require that your work use proper spelling and grammar. It's possible to be a good writer with imperfect spelling, but you should clean up the edges if you want it to be understandable and show intelligence. You can find a free online spelling and grammar checking service here:

Most importantly, take a break and laugh Alot:
