There, you've done it, you've completed your first novel, poem, screenplay, etc. And while you sit back and gaze at the huge accomplishment you've just made, you sit back and wonder, what comes next? Now, it's time for the editing process. Go back through your piece of work and correct grammatical errors, check for misspellings, and make sure you've gotten everything nearly perfect. After completing that step, go back through your work again and edit again. Chances are, you might have missed something, and it never hurts to double check.

I'm extremely loyal.
I dislike liars. (strongly) Honesty is always the best policy.
I love old movies.
