Revising

In Harris book Rewriting, he gives us tips in how to revise our writings. He suggests we first ask ourselves questions as a form of coming to terms, forwarding, countering, and taking an approach. He mentions three general steps in writing. The first one being "drafting, or general text". Second being "revising, or working with the text you've created, rethinking and reshaping what you want to say" . The third being "editing, or working on your text as an artifact, preparing the final version of your document". I thought this was great advice. I always have a hard time revising and usually don't even put much effort into it because I just end up getting overwhelmed. With Harris advice however he makes it easy to organize yourself in revising by coming to terms with your writing, forwarding, countering and taking an approach to your essay. I also found the advice of the three general steps very helpful. Especially to me because I didn't even have a writing process or knew of this writing steps. I usually write, revise, and move my essay around as I go along. If I can focus on certain writing goals at a certain amount of time it would make my writing process easier for me.
