The readings from this week and the past week have made me become a lot more aware of the importance of a solid writing process. Sommers piece, “Revision Strategies of
Student Writers and Experienced Adult Writers” made it clear to me that I can make a lot of improvement to my writing process of revising. Experienced writers see the process of revisions embodying a lot of steps, whereas for me revision is on the back burner of my priorities while writing a paper. I definitely spend the least amount of time on revision, making me focus on the finish line without concentrating on cleaning things up in my paper. I feel like if I devoted more of my time on revision, I could produce a more proficient piece of work. There are numerous things that go into ones writing process, but now I have a better sense that the act of revision is key if you want to step into a whole new level of writing.
I agree with you when you say that revision is the main struggle to overcome when writing papers. I have a struggle dealing with this too. I know that whenever i do revise though i often get better grades.
ReplyDeleteIn accord with what you said, revision is definitely a crucial part to the betterment of one's work. And as Stephen commented that as students we have a conditioned understanding that revised work often receives better grades. That being said, how come we neglect to revise on everything?
