This will require practice. For example, it might be nice to tell someone you like his or her writing, but it doesn't make it better. To revise a piece of writing is to see it a new way. This often, but not always, includes making dramatic changes to sentences, paragraphs and ideas. Revising does not mean taking out mistakes in spelling and punctuation.
Revision requires time and thought.
No writer works alone. Every writer, whether she or he is a fiction or non-fiction writer, an essayist or poet, needs feedback. Within our Distance Education structure, small groups will be developed to accommodate peer editing and its benefits. These discussions may well provide you with ideas to write, either by offering an insight you may not have seen or by helping you clarify your own opinion.
