Looking back on previous revisions of my writing is always an interesting process, one thats filled with a great amount of reflection and learning from either simple or large areas of improvements. As for more simple mistakes such as grammatical errors, I think we lose sight on most of them thanks to auto-detection in word or google docs, however it also makes it much easier to identify mistakes because they’re underlined in bright red. Looking back, I can definitely see more red than I would prefer, but that’s a slow mountain I’ve been climbing in my writing. Contrary to my upwards journey with grammar, I would consider my organization skills for writing one of my biggest strengths. I am very comfortable in terms of planning, divvying up writing to different portions of my essay, and proofreading in the end, however I think that working on the same essay for five weeks makes it harder since my flow is disrupted. Ive taken online courses before, but this was a struggle I hadn’t faced before in a course similar to this one, yet it provided me with experience for how to prepare and deal with it next time. One resource that extremely helped my revisions was feedback from my professor, as checking her comments next to where I thought I needed to improve, is extremely beneficial to my revising process. As always, the revision process is one of reflection, finding new ways to improve my writing, but another aspect I often try and focus on more is where else can I apply these skills that I’ve been sharpening? I think that it’s more of a simple answer than I always suspect, but I use them in day to day experiences that I seem to not even realize. With my work, writing, research, and revisions are the natural order of how I write, yet I never have these “steps” in my head, it’s all just part of the process. Similarly, when I’m screenwriting, those grammatical skills that I have to constantly relearn and use, come in handy for expressing dialogue in the way that I envisioned. “They might not always like the process of writing, much less find it easy, but they do appreciate writing as a self-teaching tool primarily and as a communication method only after they have written to understand for themselves”(Frazier). I believe this to be the most accurate description about the revision process that I have ever read. Despite all that I praise about it, I absolutely can never motivate myself to try and look for places to improve in my writing, however not only does it teach me more about my writing, it just makes it exponentially easier for the next time I sit down to revise.
