What is Revision? Revision is similar to editing but it is not the same. Editing, like revising, is making changes. When you edit make sure you have correct grammar and everything makes sense, but when you revise it’s different. Revising is when you take a break from creating your writing piece and coming back to it later with fresh eyes. You make changes but not just fixing grammatical errors you make changes to the story as well. When I revised my piece I added more description and changed small scenes in my story to make them more interesting.
