Not to be confused with actual editing. My revision was almost a kind of self-editing. I didn't take Stephen King's advice to cut 10% into account, because in my opinion it is advice that is only valid in certain cases. I cut it, it's true, but I also added where something was missing, I rewrote pieces from scratch, I moved chapters, I added others, I found various repetitions, I eliminated adverbs, I improved the sound of the sentences and adjusted the various combinations of words. Another vice of mine is starting sentences with the conjunctions “and” and “but”. I do this often, but it's not always correct. In some cases this may be the case, the “e” at the beginning of the sentence seems to give more emphasis to the sentence.
Emphasis is another element of writing that needs to be controlled. I saw that, by moving some words, the emphasis improved, the concept seemed clearer and more direct. 4 – Use of subordinate clauses Special Data While on the one hand they can be functional to the period, especially if placed at the beginning, on the other they risk making the period confusing and incomprehensible. The danger of stretching the broth is always around the corner. I always ask myself a question: is it necessary to start the sentence with a subordinate clause? Wouldn't it be better to put it on later? In those cases I write the sentence in two ways, reread it and choose the one that sounds best. 5 – Use and meanings of words It makes no sense to write "multi-voice orchestra", much less "single-voice monologue", yet that is what I wrote and, despite all the re-readings done, only when I printed the manuscript did I realize those obscenity. I checked various words among dictionaries and synonyms to choose the best ones.
Is that really the right word? Does it summarize the concept I want to express? Would a synonym be better? Does it sound good in context? A text should be reread sentence by sentence, each one taken individually, separated from the rest, pasted into a new document and reread like this, isolated in a sea of white, analyzed word by word.shly picked flowers and other fragrances that she couldn't recognize. She glimpsed the woman's form, motionless under her sheets. He caressed her face, which seemed strangely cold to him. He then tore off her dress, took off his trousers and penetrated her forcefully. The girl was terrified, the man thought, she didn't move or say a word. She hoped that he had hurt her while deflowering her, even though that type of woman was so proud that he would never admit it. During intercourse the man had frantically groped and kissed that body which remained inert, without heat, like a silent surrender to that manifestation of authority and power. The gentleman finished with a groan, allowing himself one last, angry movement in the girl's body. Another woman had been hers, stolen from her legitimate husband, who had been left waiting helplessly. Smiling, she dressed and went out.
