5+Editing+&+Revision

Editing & Revision are really important!


In order to have the freedom to let your writing flow, you haven't worried up to this point about how your story looks or sounds. You were just putting out the ideas on paper. Now, it's time to step back and review what you have and fine tune it for purpose, voice, and the mechanics of //**CUPS**// (remember, that is //__**c**__apitalization//, //__**u**__sage//, __**p**__unctuation and //__**s**__pelling//!)

Below is an editing checklist to use with your writing. Give it a try and see if you can clean up the work so far. Print it off and use it with your writing. Please discuss what you think so far with your writing partner. Make your corrections and then meet with me to discuss what's going on so far.
