How do I become a better editor? Will editing help me with my writing?

Bamp

Editing is writing. You have to revise everything.

/lit/ pls

Better editing, I don't know.
But trying to work out and explain what's wrong with the writing of others will help you understand how to avoid doing it yourself.

seeing them as separate tasks seems pretty clueless. so first step is to get a clue. keep reading

Write analysis in the margins of books you read, this is editing backwards and will help you identify opportunities in your own writing. The story is in the margins when reading and writing. So yeah, edit between the lines.

Why do you want that? There's plenty of that on lit already. I've posted a couple before, but every time I do I feel like a cunt.
