: Re: Which techniques can I use to become a better editor when editing my own writing? I'm looking to improve my ability to edit and correct my own writing. What are some techniques I can use

From my experience, the first thing you need to consider is WHEN to edit your own work.
I find it more productive to write until I'm done, always going forward in my writing, instead of stopping every now and then to edit.

Why? because editing takes you back. You edit, revise, add, edit, revise again, and after a week you find that you are still writing the first chapter...

So, my advice is: edit when you're done writing. Shelving your work for a couple of days before editing it also helps to get a "fresh" look on things.
