Hi! Welcome to the editing page! On this page you learn how to polish your work and make it shiney clean! You can make a simple old poem into a master piece! Every single famous poem had an hours worth of editing, so when your doing it it doesn't have to be as long.... but still try really hard.
Say if you had a sentace like this...
I walked pass the sidewalk waving to all my friends but they didnt see me.
You could change it into....
I dragged my feet along the sidewalk gently forcing my hand to move left to right greeting my friends, but my friends didnt greet back.
Or if you had a Couplet like this....
My dad came home from work today.
When he came back he had nothing to say.
You could change it into this....
My dad swooshed the door open when he slowly came home from work today.
He was silent and speachles its like his mouth didnt let him talk, he had nothing to say.
Here is how you edit.
Prentend this was your piece of work.
I really like the strawberry that you gave me. All of the juice came out when i bit it!
Hmmm... see anything you could change? Mabie just some words like change "really like" into "really enjoy" and when the juice came out, you can make that more discriptive, like "All the juice flowed out like a river of blood." Then change when i bit it" into "when my teeth chewed the soft silky skin of the outer stawberry."
So it would be...
I really enjoyed the strawberry you gave me. All the juice flowed out like a river of blood when my teeth chewd the soft silky skin of the outer stawberry.
Ta da!
Does that help? Hope it does!
