Revising is every writer’s secondary job. The piece hits on the key points: the dreadful feeling of having to do revisions. Revisions is a tiresome process, a process that all writers have to go through again and again for a piece. However, the author of “Acts of Revision” suggest to end the endless cycle of revision before you, the writer, come to start hating your own piece.

I feel that at any time after the first draft, I slowly start to hate my writing. It’s hard to do revisions. It’s like deleting half the draft and starting over at the other half. However, after feedback from others (my peers and professor), there is a path to the revision. But it’s only the start. To get to the path to a final draft, a lot of revisions and more killing of brain cells would be required. “Acts of Revision” didn’t really change my mind about revision. It’s a necessary process, but also a process I dislike as it is for an essay.
