Make sure you switch color when you highlight the next sentence. After highlighting, go back and make sure all your sentences make since and all your sentences and not too long or not too short.

A story can always be a little bit better so make sure you ask someone else how they think of it. Maybe your friend can help you fix something you messed up on. Your friend can make little notes on the side to make sure your story is the best it can be. After you friend is done checking it you can read their comments they made on your paper and decide if you want to change it or not.
