Just a few reminders:
Don't forget to proofread your paper! The best time to do this is a few hours or even a day after you have written it. Come at it with fresh eyes! Get a parent or sibling to help you catch goofs, too. And please do me a favor and read it out loud! This will help you catch mistakes, and it may even prove to be entertaining.
Go over the comma rules. Be sure that every comma you have is there for a reason. (And that reason is NOT because you would "naturally pause!")

Logan,
You and me both! I have a deadline Monday for a 1500 word article, and I have way more words than that--over 3000!
