I believe revision is one of the most important parts of writing and is absolutely essential to the writing process as a whole. The revision process has definitely changed the way I look at my writing. When I initially start writing the first draft of a paper, it is nowhere near perfect. It is the process of going through the paper over and over again and making both minor and drastic changes that allows me to truly write the paper I know I am capable of. Each time I go through and revise a piece of my writing, I become more familiar with my own personal style.
While I believe personal revision is a fundamental part of the writing process, I also believe that peer revision is equally important. I find it extremely beneficial to have someone other than myself go through my paper because my peers catch mistakes and make suggestions that I never would have thought of or caught. Having my peers edit my paper allows me view my writing from a different perspective which makes for a very well rounded paper. All in all, my experiences with personal revision, coupled with peer revision, have allowed me to grow stronger as a writer and really see my own personal writing style develop
