Global Edits V.S. Local Edits
Global edits and local edits both have there ways to improve they way you write. Global edits focus on the major components of the paper such as main ideas and themes. Local edits take it to a smaller structure and focus on the lower level sentence edits such as words choice and or sentence structure. Local edits always seem to come first for me when I do the revision process. I look at how my word choice blends together. I want to sound proficient and smart when I write so I try to create a master piece every sentence. When looking at global edits, I really need to work with my local edits so that the main theme is delivered. I want to send the reader with a home run message to take home. I want to change the way the reader thinks and that is through my global edits. I need to bring strong evidence to the table to help define and back up my statements. I seem to prioritize the local edits over global edits when I revise my paper. If I can put together a symphony of words then the reader will get my message. The global edits help with deep meaning while local edits are more surface modifications. Out of the two, I like to do global edits more because it does not have to have so many restrictions that local edits have. In the end, these two types of edits all enhance a paper and strengthen what you want to get across to your reader.
