I found “Acts of Revision: A Guide For Writers” and more specifically the chapter that Brock Deither writes to be extremely helpful and insightful because it provides an excellent perspective on the importance of your own attitude towards writing. She starts off by saying “In writing and revision, attitude is everything.” I agree with this statement because often times I believe that if an individual wants to write about a certain topic they would do it with more passion since they have some type of personal connection towards the topic. For example, I loved to write my rhetorical analysis on the 1971 Coca Cola Commercial due to many reasons. (Spoiler Alert Mad Men) Initially, I found out about the commercial from the series finale of Mad Men and I thought it was an excellent end to one of the greatest shows ever created and I started to research on my own about the commercial and the historical significance. Thats when I began to analyze the commercial and when I had the opportunity to write about it, I was excited because now I had the opportunity to fully go into depth about how I viewed the commercial and this created a positive attitude towards me writing my paper. The author also makes great points on why writers wouldn’t like to revise their work and I agree with a lot time, and to be honest I hate revising my work but I do it anyways. Its a great opportunity for me to improve my skills as a writer because the other people in my group provided excellent feedback on my paper and I was able to improve my writing so it becomes stronger. I don’t believe that this piece will influence my final draft as much as I initially thought because the key point that was being made was that attitude is important, and I believe that I have excellent attitude towards my topic.
