What to Revise First
Captions available
The idea
Revise from big to small: first the amount and order of information, then clarity, then sentences and words.
In practice
The basic big questions ask where the draft is unclear, where it needs more or less information, and what should be reordered.
Where people slip
Starting with sentences when the structure is weak is like painting a wall you are about to move.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
