Revising and Editing

Do you remember Pinocchio, the puppet built by the wood-carver Geppetto? Geppetto cut the wood with care, chiseled here, and sanded there. Finally, Pinocchio looked like a real boy and actually came to life!

Improving Your First Draft

As a writer, you are like a wood-carver. You make big changes and little changes until your writing is clear, complete, and correct.

When you revise your writing, you make sure it is clear and complete. When you edit your writing, you make sure it is correct.
