- I believe that “…For most of us, revision is the only road to success” is Brock Dethier’s way of saying that, for almost everyone, revising is the only way to make a writing better and that, as writers, in order for our drafts to become better (a success) we must revise. I agree with Dethier on this. I think revision is truly the only way to improve our writing and can help in any situation.
- Revision is like the manure on a farm. It’s dirty and stinky but if you work with it and use it properly it can help your crops grow. The “farm” and “crops” represent the writing.
- I don’t agree with “Good writing is essentially rewriting” (pg.101). I believe that anyone can have a well-written paper from the start without having rewrite it. Instead, I think “rewriting done right is essentially better writing” is a more accurate truth.
