Editing and Proofreading=stages in the writing process. Editing is simply the stage when you work on the details of your paragraphs, sentences, words, and puncuation to make your writing as clear as it can be. The best advice to go by while editing yours or another persons writing is, "your goal is not to acheive perfection, so much as to make your writing as effective as possible for a particular purpose, or audience". That advice really helps me out when I self-edit, or peer-edit. Also, editing can either be big or small. Editing can be something as simple as making sure the right words are used, for example there instead of their.
Proofreading is just looking over the paper again and again, making sure all the mistakes are correct and everything flows together.
Writing is a complex process but it does not have to be. If you put forth the right steps, your work will be amazing!
