This may be the most frustrating step ever. Especially if you have written a long document (10 pgs or more). Trust me. I have written 60 pages for one of my books, and I have edited them at least 3 times, barely continuing the novel. Actually, I can't continue the novel right now. All my friends that I have given it to keep telling me to, but I simply can't.
Know why?
I am not inspired right at this moment. When you want to write something, it has to get poured out, but I'm stuck. My creativity hasn't gotten inspired so I can't continue.
Back to revising. Yes, it's frustrating (but if you do get in the big leagues, some people might help you with it. But even then, you're on your own.)! It's good to try this out and edit your text, although it may be long, try to enjoy the process. You can see what you are going for, complexify your ideas, and make other simpler.
A few things you need for editing:
-Patience!
-A quiet environment in which you can relax
-Mellowness (don't be frustrated, take it one page at a time)
-A snack :D (but really, you should be revising not eating)
Good luck to you all in editing.
