Drafting & Revising

I learned a lot of useful information about drafting and revising. When you are writing a first draft, it needs to be explanitory becasue that will help you when you revise later one. Howver, drafting and freewriting are different but sometimes can be confused. Freewriting helps your writing flow better and is a way to get all your thoughts out quickly. Drafting is frees all information about a research topic you have in your brain.

When reading about revising, I found a few notes to be very helpful to me. When revising, you should not look at the bad things in your work, but focus on the strengths and make them stronger. start revising at the end and only add background information in when it is really necessary for the reader to know. I found the note, "write for yourself, then your reader" to be particularly helpful. For me, this will make my writing much easier. Instead of focusing on what others will think of my writing, I should just write for myself and it will tur out better. Wehn revising my own work, I use the note of writing and editing out loud. It helps me catch a lot of my mistakes when I hear them. Also, by hearing myself, I can make sure that my words flow better and make sense.
