10/6/2017 0 Comments Week 5: Comments and RevisionsThis week, we focused a lot on revising and commenting on our drafts of writing. What really stood out to me was the whole idea of making comments on your own work. I hadn't really thought that it made sense to leave comments on your own drafts, because if you knew what you wanted to change (and thus left a comment stating such), you could simply save yourself the trouble of commenting and just change it right away. I learned, though, that commenting is actually quite a useful tool when it comes to revising your work. Many people think that commenting is pointless for revising because they believe that the process of revising is going through and adding commas and such, but that’s called proofreading. Revising is much more complex, and leaving notes for yourself is very beneficial. When you set out to critique yourself, it is very helpful to leave notes and comments to yourself as you go. That way, you won't get caught up in trying to make one specific sentence or thought perfect, and can move on to look at the rest of your piece of writing. It helps you to make sure that you get through what you need to, so that when the time comes for you to actually change and edit your writing, you have all of your ideas neatly laid out for you to easily go through and implement. It helps you speed up the process, while also making it neater, better, and easier.
