Revision Process

When beginning a new paper, I always plan out the order of which I'm going to discuss my topics. In doing this, it is easier for me to write an introduction and thesis for my writing. I know several writers who write their introductions last, but that is too complicated for me because I need the stability of my thesis to keep my writing on track with my original plan. I usually write my papers all the way through without many details first, and then within my revision process is where I add to specify details and make my argument clear. The revision process is also where I determine if the order I originally put my topics in makes sense after reading it as a whole. Revision for me is a lot of moving paragraphs and sentences around to make my writing smoother and more understandable. Grammar and spelling is not part of my revision process because I have a pet peeve about that stuff which causes me to constantly fix the errors during my writing stages. One strategy that I learned in 1020 was to cut my essays up and move the paragraphs around to have a better look at what might be another option for putting my writing together.
