Step 3: Revising

Revision is when the writer goes back and reviews his/her work.  In this step, the key components are:

*Adding
*Rearranging
*Removing
*Replacing

Details and facts can be added as well as descriptions of scenery, setting, and more information on characters and/or their development.
Sentences within the writing or the plot of a story can be rearranged so that it makes the most sense.
Certain details or words that don't add to the writing's message can be omitted, or removed.
The thesaurus can be used to replace common words with ones that sound more formal if that is what the writer is going for.
