In the chapter “Revising Attitudes,” Brock Dethier attempts to explain how one’s attitude directly affects their ability to actually revise their work. Dethier believes that if one dives into editing his/her paper with a negative attitude, they just get as much out of it and will be basically wasting their time. He seems to have a very good point because this same basic principle would apply to doing anything in life. Having a good attitude motivates us to actually put in our full effort and accomplish the best we could. So It would only make sense that every time I jump into editing my final draft with my annoyed attitude I almost never get anything done. I can’t be to blame, because honestly revising papers has to be the most tedious and painstaking process in writing. I will certainly attempt to watch my attitude and self-motivation as the try to correct my major problems in the paper. This shouldn’t be too much of a problem because i actually enjoy the subject and am very determined to make sure my audience truly understands the points i’m trying to make because i feel as if i’m onto something big.
