When I imagine revising my writing, it is something I always dread. When I write, I usually write to succeed the first time, and any revision I have to make later will typically be grammatical. I feel when I write I am able to organize myself in the first go, so revising a paper is not something I commonly do. Throughout high school, every now and then as an assignment I would have to revise a draft that was graded, and in doing so any correction I would have to make would either be because I misspelled a word or was too vague somewhere, but other than that, that would be it. Revising is something I have never really felt a need to do, especially if I read my work over first before submitting it. When it comes to revision I would say proofreading is the first step, and then comes the choice of just simple editing or total revision.  If revision is necessary, I would assume it is because a realization has occurred that the paper doesn’t focus overall on a main point enough. While I do not like revising work, I agree with many points Dethier makes except for his argument pertaining to making a worse work. I do believe if something works well do not try to make it better, as ruining work in throwing away what worked best in an attempt to revise is a possibility.
