Revisions #2

I personally think that revisions is necessary to become better as a writer, or in any field that you pursue. I personally like to type or write and keep writing and leave it alone for awhile and then get back to it to revise. Often I feel that printing it out and then reading it over is much better then reading it on a screen where you typed it up, or better letting someone else revise it for you. In this revision process I looked at the grammar and style of my work along with the tenses and of course the flow of it. It helps me to read my work aloud so that I can hear how it sounds rather then read in my head how it sounds. Even though revisions can sometimes take forever, and your work ends up being cut down from 10pages to 2pages, I understand the importance of revision and how crucial it is in order to be a better writer.
