10/15/10: How To Write Anything Pg. 386-391

             On page's 386-391 in How To Write Anything, we read about how to properly revise a paper along with how to use different strategies in order to strengthen your paper. In the reading, it was said that revisions should be made after putting you're paper aside for a few days after writing it so that you can have a fresh eye and will see many more corrections that need to be made rather than what you would have revised looking at the paper right after finishing your first rough draft. It was also made clear throughout the reading that it is important that although you are trying to follow the correct structure of a paper, not to forget to put your own style and personal flavor into the piece that will keep it creative and unique from other papers. This reading made it seem a lot easier to write a formal paper and gave you a lot of options on different things to incorporate in your paper along with different ways to revise depending on the message you are trying to get across to the reader. I think I will refer back to this reading for many of my papers and assignments to come in my English 101 class.
