Today, our focus is Bite #95, “Hold It Up to the Light,” from Eating an Elephant: Write Your Life One Bite at a Time, and it will help you revise your stories.

When you revise, put a minimum of a couple of hours between yourself and the writing. A couple of days is even better because time provides the objectivity needed.

Bite #95 includes six questions to ask yourself as you edit. If you can objectively answer yes to these questions, you are well on your way to a revised version of your story.

What is your editing process? Do you use an editing checklist? What techniques help you?

Remember, the only way to do this wrong is to not do it at all!
