Post 2: The Most Important Lesson of Composition I

Possibly the most important aspect of writing in any of its many forms is the ability to express clarity of concept.  To obtain clarity in a written work, writers must strive to REVISE the work into something, well, clear. Revision allows us to take information and organize it so that it flows easily into the mind of the reader. Revision allows us to note where we have failed to inform our readers of crucial aspects that would display the full scope of our points.
"Don’t worry too much about spelling, punctuation, and similar errors right now. There’s no sense in spending a lot of time fixing capitalization and grammar, for example, if you’re going to end up deleting the whole paragraph or section anyway because you decide it’s unnecessary or it doesn’t really fit. Instead, think about the overall content of your paper. Determine whether or not the information really suits the scope and purpose of your document, and if so, where it belongs" Says Stacie Heaps, in her article "How to Revise Your Writing". This is her first step, and so too must understanding revision be our first step into the world of writing
