Mistakes to Look For In The Editing Process

Editing is so fun, isn't it? What's better than shredding your hard work and rewriting half of it? Okay, on a serious note... Which parts do you shred, and which do you delete? How do you know if something's good or not?
  Honestly, a lot of editing you just have to be the judge. You know your book, you know what's necessary to the story. The trick is to be able to look at it analytically, not emotionally.
  However, because I'm writing a whole post about what you should look for... Here are the more mechanical parts of editing to do! Grammar, style, all that fun. So here are the things to look out for!
  Also, this is just going to be a big bullet-list. Because sometimes, I just want a big list and couldn't care less about why. Unless it's messing up something, just knowing the bare facts usually helps me to focus and not go into more researching... So here's what you should look for (with a grain of salt.)

Things To Just Delete

• Link to a bunch of words to cut (Or replace) 
• Chapters that don't move the plot forward
• Scenes that don't move the plot forward
• Clothing descriptions longer than two sentences
• Character descriptions longer than 2 - 3 sentences
• Recurring character description (Ex. Mentioning eye color many times throughout the book)
• Long paragraphs in Latin/made up languages/etc. 
• Irrelevant/small talk dialogue
• Excessive world description

Things to Rewrite

• Melodrama
• Clunky sentences 
• Character inconsistencies
• Info Dumps 
• Change in tense (Past, present)
• Change in 3rd/1st person
• Important scenes that come across as bland/wrong emotion/etc. 
• Dialogue doesn't sound natural
• Too much show/too much tell (Here's a great video on this and melodrama!)
