“The best advice I can give on this is, once it’s done, to put it away until you can read it with new eyes. Finish the [writing], print it out, then put it in a drawer and write other things. When you’re ready, pick it up and read it, as if you’ve never read it before. If there are things you aren’t satisfied with as a reader, go in and fix them as a writer: that’s revision.” — Neil Gaiman
REVISION: A process of making changes to improve both what your essay says and how it is said; clarification of your ideas.
Without looking at your essay, write a one-paragraph statement of purpose and audience for your essay: what do you really want to get across to your readers, and who are you hoping to reach in this essay? Then, re-read your essay with your written statement in mind. Are your stated purpose and audience evident in the essay?
“This constant struggle between wanting to be finished and wanting to finish well” - (how poet Juan Ramón Jiménez describes the revision process)
“We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master.”
—Ernest Hemingway
