Revision

For me, revision is definitely the most crucial part of writing a paper. I could sit and ponder what I feel the best sentence would look like for hours and where does that get me? Instead, whatever comes to my mind, I lay it down on the keys of my laptop. Most times I repeat myself, or I will finish a thought and then later on in my writing I will bring it up again and continue to elaborate on something that I have already beaten to death.  I have found that if I just start writing and turn around and start revising, I am much more successful. At that point, I am involved and dissecting what I have said and can organize my thoughts so that any reader is able to understand what I am trying to convey. I have confidence in saying that without revision I would never complete any of my projects because I’m never satisfied with the first words or thoughts that come to my mind. I don’t know anyone that ever is, and without revision my thoughts would never be well rounded and complete. Without this step it would be hard coming up with a final product that I could be proud to call my own.
