I really don't know how to react to that video we just saw guys. All I keep hearing going through my head is "Performance, feedback, revision." Its just repeating in my head. I think I know what revision is, but I'm no dictionary. Everyone knows that.
Honestly, in my own words, revision is basically reviewing and editing a paper you have already done to make it look even better than the original. Hell, that could be just the freaking definition for editing, but I really could care less about what the exact definition of revision is. This post is about what I think it is, and I'm sticking by that.
You see, that's one of the things I like about having this freedom to blog our own way, it makes doing these entries that much easier. But let me get to the point before I start ranting off like usual. Revision is a big part of the writing process. Its how you get a paper to being at a stage of not only a good paper, but a great paper. Damn, it could be even better than great, if you are able to do that. I know that the essay I plan on revising, which is my second essay, needs a shitload of editing to be done, but I know that this particular essay in question is the one that NEEDS to be my final. I break revision down personally to being simpler to understand to me, and that is re-vision, and that's how I see what it means to me. Eh, I'll rant later about it, I want more time to think about how to make it look easier to understand for those who don't get what I mean.
Love the play on the word revision. :)
