I feel that editing and revising are two different occurrences
and should be done in two different steps.
Unfortunately, most of my students think they can be done in one step
and need to be taught that it is two steps.
Many of them feel that they are the same thing. Thankfully, after the lesson on editing and
revising, they change their minds.
In the past, I felt that it didn’t matter which order you
performed these steps in, but now, I beginning to change my thinking. Revising should be done first, then
editing. Editing should be the last
thing you do before you publish your work.
You must look at your work to make sure it looks (editing) as
good as it sounds (revising).
