My revision essay
               Whenever I revise a paper I am always very tedious on my revision process. I am a terrible writer and have to be careful with my spelling because I am horrible speller.  I have many different safety measures when I edit a paper. The order I go in is I look over the paper myself, then I get my friend who is a literature major to look it over. I then go to the academic support center and have they look it over once before I hand in a draft. My process is very short but very
efficient and I get the most editing done in the shortest period of time.
               Whenever I am revising my paper the first thing I do is check my sentence structure. I make sure my sentences flow smoothly and they are not choppy. I then check my transitions to each paragraph and make sure it flows properly and the transitions are smooth. After I have completed all of those process. I than check all of my spelling and grammar for basic mistakes I am a horrible speller so this part has to be done at least 3 times per draft.
               Even after all of my own edits I do not trust my own eye entirely. After I finish my own edits I got to my friend who is a literature major, and have her look it over next. She looks it over and critiques it and tells me were there are flaws. It is always important when revising an essay to have a fresh set of eyes looks at it. Those eyes will be able to see things you were unable to see.  After she finishes looking over my paper I go the academic support center and have a tutor look it over. Having my friends look it over is great but nothing beats an actual professor looking it over. After we go over it I make the nacarrey changes I then hand in the first draft.

               When I revise a paper I am looking for every mistake I possibly make. After I hand in the first draft and get it back. I do the same revising process over again. Only this time I have a different friend edit my paper to get a new set of eyes on my paper. When Revising a paper I always give my greatest effort in order to achieve.
