Revision

When I hear the word “revision” I sigh and think to myself, “what else more can I do to this paper?” Usually I’m so tired after writing a paper and I just don’t want to deal with it anymore than I already did. Since I’ve been in the Forum class and getting second chances to revise my work I’ve noticed that I need revisions to help my writing; that I’m not the world’s best first draft writer. Also, it helps my grade go up. But, I’ve noticed that some of my best work and a better grade come from revising three or more times.
When I revise my own work, first, it depends on the time of day. If it’s late at night I won’t revise it till the next day. But if I’m able to finish something before the late hours I will usually read through it right after and check for grammar mistakes. After, depending on how I’m feeling I will either move to something else like other homework, reading, or rest. If I’m really on a roll I will read through it again aloud and revise the sentences. Last I take it to someone to revise the little things that I missed because most of the time it’s hard to revise your own work because you know your style and everything makes sense even though it could be confusing to someone else.
So far this revision method I’ve got going is working out well for me. I haven’t had any problems with it. And I’ve been pretty happy with my grades from using my revision technique.
