Overview of writing, revision and edit

Writing as a process

Pre-writing ↔ drafting ↔ revision ↔ editing ↔ Submit the paper

What do I do in the revision step??? This is when you are molding the paper into something that makes sense.
You check for
--> ideas and content, organize (outline or list),
--> what voice (humor, technical),
--> types of words used (Vocabulary, friendly use of can't or formal use of cannot).

When you are done --> Read it out loud.

* * * ONLY AFTER you have done your revision do you move on to editing. Not during and most of all NOT before * * *

What do I do in the editing step???
You check for those things you 3rd Grade teacher used mark on your paper
--> spelling,
--> capitals,
--> punctuation,
--> grammar
--> complete sentences and
--> paragraphs.

Please note you can go back to the revision step at any time. But when you do, you need to repeat the editing step.
Do Not do these two steps at the same time.


When you are done --> Read it out loud again.
