Revising

Oh revising, why is it so hard? How much do you revise your stories/poems/whatever? How do you go about it? Any tips on how to make the revision process any easier? I'm trying to revise a story right now, and let's just say, I need all the help I can get.

Break the story. Think again how your characters would interact along a scene. What would they do in that particular situation? Take in count if they're passionate about their ideals or if they're just believers. Are they thinkers or doers? Does this scene has a motive? Is it a consecuent event of their actions, or is it something alien of their reach? Is this scene relevant to what you're trying to prove in the story? Is this scene tense/romantic/humoristic enough for your purpose? Do I want the reader to feel "X" feeling while reading it? If so, does this scene acomplish to trasmit that emotion?

I just ask myself some of those questions after writing an entire scene. Usually I revise them two/three times before going on, and after I finish the next one, I revise the first one one time and the new one two/three times (and so on).
I hope that last part makes sense haha

I'm so bad with revising. It takes me forever to come up with anything to change, and that's because I can't move on with a section unless it's to my liking. So, when I go back, I already like the scene one way or another, so I have no idea what to change. It helps a lot if I can bounce ideas off of another person, so I'll usually pester one of my friends, who I know have read it, with some ideas.
