Peer feedback is super important for helping you improve your writing. It gives you new ideas and views that can really boost your work.

Here’s how it can help:

Setting Your Goals

• When your friends give feedback, they can point out things you didn't see.
• They can help highlight parts of your writing that need more attention.
• For example, if a few people say your characters’ dialogue sounds awkward, you can focus on fixing that when you edit.

Figuring Out What to Fix First

• Knowing how your work is received can help you decide what to change first.
• You can group feedback by themes like character development, pacing, or clarity.
• This helps you tackle the most important issues early on, making your editing smoother.

Keeping Track of Your Progress

• Start a feedback log where you write down your friends’ comments and your thoughts on them.
• Make checklists for specific goals based on the feedback you get.
• For example, if your characters’ motivations need to be clearer, make it a point on your checklist to clarify what each character wants in your edits.

Improving Step by Step

• Keep track of changes you make in different drafts and compare them to earlier versions.
• Use a chart to see how feedback has shaped your writing—list what you changed and what still needs work. This helps you stay on track and see your progress.

Using peer feedback in your editing journey helps you grow as a writer. It also builds a sense of community and teamwork in the writing process!
