Writing is not a one-time act.
Writing is a process, and memorable writing comes more from rewriting than from the first draft.
There is no perfect amount of drafts that will ensure a great essay, but you will eventually reach a point when your confidence in the strength of your writing is reinforced by the thoughts of others. If you skimp on the rewriting process, you significantly reduce the chances that your essay will be as good as it could be. Don't take that chance. The following steps show you how to take your essay from rough to remarkable. You have made it through the first draft, and you deserve a reward for the hard work.
