Here's why:
* Editing is the process of reviewing your writing to identify and correct errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, and sentence structure. It ensures your writing is clear, concise, and grammatically correct.
* Other steps in the writing process might touch on these elements, but editing is specifically dedicated to making those refinements. For example:
* Drafting involves forming ideas into sentences and paragraphs, but may not prioritize perfect grammar.
* Revising focuses on the overall content and organization of your writing, making broader changes before diving into the specifics of grammar.
So, while other steps contribute to a polished piece, editing is the dedicated stage where you fine-tune grammar and sentence structure for clarity and impact.
