My experiences with revision have changed the way I view my own writing and my style of writing a lot. I realized that I was writing using a ton of contractions, so now I go back and double check my writing to make sure I have spelled out each word. Also, I have noticed that I repeat myself a lot in my papers, I will write the same sentence but just word it differently. I never realized that I did that until I was getting my papers back from our writer’s workshops. Another thing I have been working on changing in my papers are my transitions between paragraphs. Before I did not even have much of a transition between my paragraphs, they would just jump around and each paragraph would be a whole new random topic. My papers did not flow very well at all but I have been getting a lot better at it now. My vocabulary is not all that advanced so I have been using the thesaurus to substitute words I use often for new words that sound much better in my papers. Overall, I think my experience with revision has improved my writing a lot and I will continue to use what I’ve learned in future papers.
