Ask does the reader need this information at this time. Sometimes details are needed but they are better in an appendix or included in supplemental material. If the writing is too dense, a reader may get lost. Too much redundancy can loose your reader. I've worked on a procedure where I would get lost because of the redundancy. If the redundancy is caused by two similar options, put extra emphasis on the differences between the options. You want them to stand out as unique options.

I'm not a good writer, I'm a good editor. What does that mean? First, don't edit on the move. Get the first draft done, don't stop. You'll know some sentences are ugly, that the analogy isn't right, the syntax clumsy. That doesn't matter at first. Get. It. Done. Then leave it for as long as you can. Go fishing. Fly a kite. Start another project. Call your gran. Change your perspective and then come back with an eager pen and expect to chop and cut and change. First proof read, then read aloud. Read aloud again. Use tools for the punctuation and grammar. Or ask your editor. This is the first round. Leave it again. Change your perspective. Then go back and do round two. As you get more experience writing your editing skills improve.

Practice Writing in Different Styles: Challenge yourself to write in various genres and formats regularly. This practice will help you become more versatile and improve your skills. Additionally, consider sharing your work with others, such as peers or mentors, to get constructive feedback. Implement their suggestions if and when applicable and make revisions accordingly. Thanks!

The bare bones of a good story are the same regardless of the genre, so that's the best place to start editing and revising. If the underlying structure is not strong then the story won't be strong regardless of how much genre-related dressing up is added. If the underlying structure is sound then it'll probably support any genre-related touches.

Effective writing and editing across different genres and formats require practice, patience, and a willingness to adapt. Keep refining your skills and remain receptive to new ideas and techniques to become a versatile writer, storyteller and editor.
