revision is re-seeing
have a relationship with drafts- work on problems and not fearing making changes
what is yor draft trying to do?
-readerbased prose
-writer based prose
is the question I'm asking clear and sufficently limited?
Have I answered "so what"
is there one most important thing I'm trying to say
purpose is clear and how well the information is organized around its purpose
re-researching
-find quick facts
local revision: revising for language
listening to the voice
aviod sound glib- don't draw attention away from the information in the paper
tightening seams between what you say and what they say
scrutinizing paragraphs
scrutinizing sentences
editing for simplicity
take out unneed or confusing words
be reader friendly
follow the instructed format this helps direct the reader a bit
looking closely
already manuscripted, pruning sentences and tghtening things up
proofread
make sure all grammer is correct
aviod sexiest language
Oops!
Oops, you forgot something.
