I have a finished draft and want to revise it in structured passes, not one unfocused re-read.
The draft: {{paste the draft, or a link/description if too long to paste}}
What this is for: {{audience and purpose — a blog post, an essay, a report, a story}}
What I am already unsure about: {{any section or choice you already suspect is weak}}
Run three separate passes and keep them separate — do not blend them into one list:
1. **Structure pass** — does the order serve the reader? Where does momentum stall, where is something explained before it is needed, where is the ending under-earned?
2. **Argument/content pass** — where are the claims thin, unsupported, or repeated without adding anything? Where would a skeptical reader push back?
3. **Prose pass** — filler words, redundant sentences, weak verbs, and any sentence that requires a re-read to parse. Quote the exact sentence before suggesting the fix.
For each pass, rank the issues found by how much they cost the reader, worst first. End with the single highest-leverage fix across all three passes — the one change that would improve the draft more than any other.editingrevisionwriting processself-editing
