Every writer should undergo revision. Although not all of them would like to experience this kind of writing process, but it is the best way to make your contents effectively.
The first step is to write down all your ideas while you are making your first draft. It is really not that important if you had committed a lot of errors while typing or any grammatical errors in your sentences.
As long as you have set all your ideas about the topic and write it all down into writing then there is no problem about it. The next big thing that you need to focus your attention to is to correct these mistakes after you had finished your first draft. This is done in the revision process.
The first thing you have to do is to read your draft over and over to assure any errors while writing. This will let you know if what are the things you need to correct and where you should correct them. As you can see, having a lot of grammatical mistakes is a major distraction when your audience are about to read your content. So you need to polish this thing immediately.
However, there are situation where your first draft seems to be incomplete. Sometimes, you finish a piece, read through it and just feel underwhelmed. Even after your English writing software gives you two thumbs up, declaring the material error-free, you sometimes just get the feeling that the writing is not good enough.
For some instances, you will discover that there are thing you need to add or omit in your content. It can be a word, a group of word or even a paragraph. So you need to be very particular about this matter. Sometimes you need to revise a certain thought to make it more appealing and understandable.
That�s not so bad. Few writers are so gifted and well-versed at their craft that everything they put to paper works immediately. In fact, I�d go so far as to say that the most finely-written prose you�ve laid eyes on have probably received innumerable numbers of revisions.
Why Revise?
Different people give varying reasons for needing to revise pieces of writing. In truth, there�s only one good reason to put in this kind of effort and it�s for your reader�s benefit. Those people give their time and attention to your piece � the least you can do is ensure that you�ve done your best to make it a positive experience for them.
A Perspective Shift
For many writers, revision involves shifting your perspective. Writing is a personal activity and, most of the time, you�ll need to change your approach to it if you want to revise your writing objectively. As such, it�s crucial to be able to distance yourself from the work, to the point of feeling like someone else writes the material while you�re revising it. That way, you won�t find yourself holding back or defending certain areas of the piece, as you�re already in a different frame of mind.
