Revising Your Paper

“Half my life is an act of revising.” -John Irvin (Author of the Cider House Rules)

"After I’ve sent my revised draft to my agent and editor, they suggest more improvements and again, this revision phase can take anywhere from a few years to a few months.” -Margaret Haddix (Author of the Shadow Children sequence and The Missing series)

Consider these two quotes from published authors on the revision step of the writing process, and also think about your own revising process.  What do you do when you revise?  Is it hard for you or easy?  What do you like and dislike about revising? In this Warm-Up, create a journal entry answering these questions. If you need assistance on writing a journal entry, please visit the Developmental Module for more information.

Once you have completed your journal entry, please save it with a file name of mod9top6_revision and submit it to the journal dropbox.
