You spent the last week working on your planning and drafting stages, putting your best effort into it. Now, you’re editing your work and – oh my God – it sucks. You can try using an English writing assistant, but if your piece is flawed in structure and content, it’s not likely to be of much help. What are you gonna do?

It’s bad form, but it’s true. Most writers revise by crawling through their work section by section. Some do it after every sentence; some after every paragraph; others, every time they notice something while they draft. While perfectly valid, it’s absolutely slow – far from the most efficient way of churning out copy.
