After completing an edit of a passage, check it again to see that your work is seamless. When we change one thing around, others parts are affected. Make sure that each sentence blends in with its neighbours, and that no scars or amputations are obvious. Your reader should not be able to detect where you have cut, added, or moved words and sentences around.
W. Somerset Maugham said that "A good style should show no sign of effort. What is written should seem like a happy accident."
