​Editing and Revising
From the University of California University at Berkeley. the difference between editing and revising.
Editing vs. Revision
What is the difference between editing and revision? We often use the two terms interchangeably and yet there are some important distinctions. True revision requires seeing your writing from a completely different perspective which can be facilitated by another reader's comments and questions.
 Editing is on a sentence level, addressing problems with spelling, grammar, punctuation, or word choice.
is one-sided. The editor writes comments and corrections on the paper and returns the paper to the writer.
An editor looks for "mistakes" and "fixes" them. An editor places value on writing (such as a grade).
focuses on the paper as a product.

​ Revising deals with the paper as a whole, considering strengths and weaknesses, arguments, focus and organization, support, and voice, as well as mechanical issues.

“The best part of being a writer is that you can be insane
​and still be considered a genius.”
