When an author writes a work, he goes through several drafts before deeming his work complete enough to be published. This process of rereading, rewriting, and editing is known as revisions. Professional writers can do a great deal of editing; some authors make up to 150 revisions (Murray 327). During my writing career in school, I only did two drafts: the rough draft and the final draft. As I have continued my studies in school, revisions have become more important and will only improve me for my future education and career. One of the biggest struggles I've struggled with as a writer has been grammar. I tend to overuse commas a lot, which in my essays were labeled "comma splices." In the first essays I wrote, I had some of these comma splices. For example, in my summary essay I wrote, “Julie spent two years in Indonesia studying and acting, she had become one of the family in the village where she lived.” That comma shouldn't have been put there. I had the same comma splice problem in my critical essay. I wrote, “He took part in an experimental problem that only made his condition worse, his mental state was getting worse, which was the last straw in his book.” The first comma of that sentence should have been included. My rhetorical analysis essay seemed to have the most comma splices. “Nothing stands out when you look at this website, which makes it difficult for readers to focus on the material,” I wrote this and the commaDeskin 1 is not necessary. I've noticed that I like to use commas, but I don't use them correctly. I tend to use the "pause" rule, which is when someone reads a sentence and pauses at a certain point within that sentence. It just seems… halfway down the paper… then I can rephrase the sentences to incorporate more of my voice throughout my essay. Development is another review process that Murray discussed in his article. Murray states, “each section of a piece of writing must be adequately developed” (Murray 328). The thing I struggle with the most as a college student is procrastination. Especially when I work on top of going to school, I tend to put off my homework until the night before it's due. I started early on this assignment, but not as early as I should have. My development was weak in the perspective that I didn't know where I was going with my article. I discussed the history of same-sex marriage, then moved on to the argumentative portion of the essay. If I were to do a review of this essay, I think I would try to start from scratch and write an outline to help develop my essay more.
