Writing prompt: Good writing requires editing

This is the fifth in a series of short writing prompts inspired by Stephen King's "On Writing":

p. 56-57: When a teenaged Stephen King began stringing (freelancing) for a local newspaper, he had an editor work a sports story of his pretty hard, removing extraneous adverbs, clauses and hyperbole (exaggeration). King was in awe, happy he’d finally been challenged by real editing. How would you like your work edited? What in your writing style do you think might be crossed out or improved?
