Great perspective. I wrote my last research paper in college, but find two things that regularly take me from the Composition Mode view in Scrivener, to my browser: verification of dates, facts, whatever; searching for better words (verbs typically) through an online thesaurus. In most cases, either of those can be handled using the "BLANK." The latter is best done in revision anyhow.

Please what is the meaning of priority

I've been watching your videos lately, and I can say it's very helpful. Thanks so much.
But as regards editing after writing. I understood from your free ebook that editing should make up the most part of writing. However, I don't always have the energy to edit, or perhaps I should say I don't easily find blunders and what to adjust for improvement. What advice can you offer me on that?

Read. Read more about writing. Our favorite grammar book is Grammatically Correct by Anne Stilman. And read fiction and other books and take note of what sort of writing resonates with you. Finally, ask others to take a look at your work before you hit publish.
