As I was reading “Revising Attitudes” by Brock Deither I agreed with everything he was saying. I think the most important topic Deither wrote was, Resistance to Revision. I enjoyed the way he stated why some people resist to revise a piece of work and in a few sentences, he made a small argument to why it is important to revise. One phrase that I think was important was, “use what’s useful; disregard the rest.” The suggestions that the readers write on our paper are simple suggestions, like he said they’re “not orders.” Some of the suggestions that the readers give us sometimes won’t make it to the second draft.
I plan to take all suggestions into consideration for my second draft. I am a writer who likes to get all types of different critics. I am open to all suggestions to make my paper better and understandable. I plan to revise my work by first starting off with the comments the readers made to my paper. Then I’m going to focus on how to fix my spelling and grammar. This article did influence my way of thinking to revise my draft. I don’t have to take all the suggestions that are made in my paper; I can pick some that will strength my paper.
