Revising: Why and How Writing is a process. It involves learning about and exploring a topic through writing. When you craft your first draft for an essay, you're trying to get all of your ideas down. If you take a break from your paper and return to it with a fresh mind, you might discover problems that you hadn't noticed before. You could find that your thesis is weak, that the evidence you've provided isn't convincing enough, or that your writing doesn't convey what you really intended to say. These situations call for revising your paper. The revision stage helps rid your paper of other inconsistencies, including a lack of connection between your ideas, poor organization, and unnecessary information. This stage is also a time to add details and ideas to fill in any gaps. Think of revision as a re-vision of your paper: it gives you the opportunity to examine your writing and your ideas critically, with fresh eyes. Ask yourself the following questions when you're revising a paper: Is this what I really wanted to say? Is this worth saying? Does it help prove my thesis? Will my readers understand my point?

The revision stage is the time to identify major problems and make the big changes needed to keep your paper on topic. It's also the time to ensure that your argument is logical and convincing to the reader. While revising, don't look for smaller issues such as spelling and grammatical errors. Instead, focus on big-picture problems such as flaws in your argument, insufficient evidence or information, or poor organization of ideas. Tackle spelling and grammar after you finish revising, when you edit and proofread your paper. There is no right or wrong way to go about revising a paper. Develop and practice a process that works best for you. Next, you'll review some how-to tips to help you fine-tune your own revision process
