Unlock the Secret Editing Tricks That Can Transform Your Short Story Overnight
For example, Hemingway loves to point out sentences that are hard to read. Those sentences aren’t necessarily wrong, though. You have to decide if you want to simplify the wording or leave it as-is.
Read your story aloud. Read it backward. (My editor sister swears by this one.)
Reading aloud can help you pick out missed words, weird wording, and where commas (a.k.a. pauses) should go.
Reading it word-by-word backward is something I admit I don’t do, but my sister says it helps her take the words out of context. This stops her brain from playing tricks, so her brain won’t fill in things that aren’t there while she’s reading.
