I owe thanks to my Hofstra Writing Composition Professor Ethna Lay, for assigning us to create a blog as a homework assignment. I will write about this and that because I actually have been there, done that. Love my life and all those it in. Feel free to disagree, that is what makes the world go around!

Revise or not revise or maybe over revise?
When I approach the end of my writing piece, I look at it as a rough draft, my thoughts written down the way I was thinking about it at the time. I tend to think faster than the fingers type so I check to make sure that it isn't a typo disaster. I re-read my writing out loud which helps me to hear what the piece sounds like, the pace the tone. While I write I tend to be speaking to someone in the room a conversation of sorts. I then go back and make the writing more colorful, adding flair and fun. I want to make sure it all makes sense and is interesting. I check to make sure that my sentence doesn't run on forever and I take a breath. I also tend to make sure that all the content is included, did the point or thesis make sense, will the professor think it is good. I do tend to over revise, I sometimes need to just walk away and come back to it so that I don't change it so much that it becomes overdone.
