Revision Strategies by Sommers

There are plenty of studies on the writing process, but not actually on the process of going back and revising work. Writing follows a pretty Linear path, from beginning to end mostly, with little regard for what comes between. Unlike the spoken word, where one can easily go back and erase or correct what they have made verbose, writing takes a certain grasp of grammar, and rewording. Students, in this correspondence, revision as little as possible, as when they read back, they see nothing wrong, they continue on hoping one will not notice - they also many other things, such as readership, meaning, and various other aspects.

It's completely understood as to why revision is such a touchy subject for people when writing, it's self correction, and not many people are very keen on the idea that they were wrong the first time, and of course, you have the people who pretend that what they wrote the first time was the true expression of their mind, the direct expression more so.
