Revision feeds the perfectionist in me
Revision helps me see what is central, what is peripheral
Revision allows me the freedom to salvage material that belongs elsewhere
Revision is like throwing ballast overboard so my piece can sail on
Revision gives me an excuse to keep writing
Revision forces me to slow down
Revision forces me to look more closely at the details
Revision forces me to untangle tangled language
Revision forces me to wax poetic
Revision is FUN!!!

very poetic list. David Letterman would be proud. Yes, revision can be fun!
ReplyDeleteI like when you said that "revision is like trowing ballast overboard so my piece can sail on" It is a good way to said how important is revision.
