REVISING

DRAFT
Before releasing a piece to the audience, it
is important to review the piece in accordance
with the aspects which were considered during
the evaluation. Revising or editing can be ways
to improve one’s write-up. Revising literally
means “to see again” not just once but multiple
times. Revision has two types of processes
where the larger problems such as content and
organization and the smaller problems such as
sentence structure, word choice, and formatting
shall both be considered in revising your output.
Some portion of updating may
incorporate requesting that others read drafts
and make modification proposals. Eventually,
it's consistently up to the author whether
those update suggestions will be actualized
into the last draft. Revising your first draft is
really a challenging task. You are stood up to
with your mistakes; you will discover helpless
exchanges and shallow characters, you will
find plot openings, lost backstories, etc.
However, to attain the improvement,
you have to accept the evaluation in a
positive outlook for the betterment of
the piece and for your improvement as
well. Most of the beginning writers failed
to create a draft effectively not
exclusively are their papers frequently
loaded up with typographical errors and
different issues, yet they come up short
on the advantages of a basic stage in
At the point when we
revise our write-up, we
accept the open door to
step back and re-imagine it.

Publishing
Publishing involves submitting final
manuscripts to editors of print and online
journals and magazines, newspapers, or
publishing companies. Although it’s great to
see one’s name in print, not all writers write
for publication. Some write their stories,
poems, letters, diaries, etc. for the next
generations – their children, grandchildren,
and great-grandchildren. They write to record
In revising for style as a writer, vague writing
and mechanical flaws detract from your insights.
1. Have you used passive voice abusively in your
text?
2. Were you gender neutral in using a language?
3. Did you use precise and concise language and
diction?
4. Did you edit out language or syntax that is
repetitive?
5. Have you corrected grammatical flaws and
provided accurate information like names and
Moreover, in revising for structure, as you read, you need
to make sure that your write-up has a strong structure.
1. Did you use a clear and logical pattern to prove your
concept?
2. Did you provide a clear introduction stating the purpose of
the piece?
3. Are the paragraphs unified and developed?
4. Were you able to establish topic sentences effectively?
5. Were you able to utilize paragraphs that helped the progress
of the topic sentences?
6. Do you have transitions between paragraphs and between
sections?
7. Does your piece have a well-reasoned and interesting
As you read your work, revise also the substance of
your piece.  Did you clearly state the thesis statement of
the piece?
 Did you present your own analysis?
 Did your piece provide reflective insights of the text?
 Did you include specific evidence to support your ideas?
Is this evidence analyzed and explained?
 If applicable, were you able to establish the characters
and other literary elements?
 If applicable, did the plot sequence run well? Was it easy
to understand?
Just remember the word DRAFT and you will be guided
properly in revising your piece.
DELETE unnecessary and repeated words, parts or
sequences. Are there words or parts that are needless
or unnecessary which can be deleted and will not
affect the content or flow of the piece? If there are,
delete them.
REARRANGE the paragraphs, sentences, clauses or
words. Are there words or sentences that need to be
rearranged to attain the chronological arrangement of
the piece? If there are, rearrange them.
ADD some connectors, transitional devices or even
information. If there are still information that need to be
included, add them. The use of connectors and
transitional devices will help to attain the smooth flow
of the piece.
FORM each of the parts that are needed in the piece.
Recalling the nonfiction type, there are certain parts
that should be present. Even the elements needed in a
type of nonfiction shall be formed and formulated.
TALK it aloud. Reading the text aloud surely reveals the
errors of the write-up. Various versions and modification
can be made if we keep on reading it before publishing.
Does it sound right? Sound smooth? Better to read it
