Sort your ideas
Are there gaps in your work? Have you omitted something?
Can you omit anything that may slow or change the pace of the read?
Can you move ideas around to ensure you don't lose your reader?
Can you rephrase parts to make it have more impact?

Punctuation is used in writing so that others can understand what we are trying to communicate.
Without a common method of language conventions, the meaning of what we are trying to convey can change!
Consider the following:
Let's eat grandma!
OR
Let's eat, grandma!
One suggests you actually want to EAT grandma, the other asks grandma if she'd like to eat WITH you!
_________________________________
Help! A thief!
Help a thief.
What do these communicate to you?
