3. When reading over what you have written it is a good idea to walk away from it for awhile and come back to it later. Many times when you are reviewing something too soon to when it was written, you will still miss mistakes you have made. Taking a break and allowing it to be fresh again is a good rule of revision. Another item you want to consider with revision is deciding "what have i written?" after you have finished. Does it work with your characters? Does the plot make sense? Is the dialogue accurate to the characters? Peer review is a great way to revise your writing or get help moving into a new direction. Using comments and critiques from our in class reviews is a great way to see a different perspective than what you have written.
2. I found it hard to find two items in which I would like further refinement because this chapter was pretty straightforward.
1. A question I would like to ask my peers is "What do you like least about workshopping papers?" I dislike being in class and having people in front of youwhile you are reading the story. Sometimes I think people who don't have to be around you would give you a more honest opinion on the writing. I feel like maybe some classmates feel the pressure to be too nice when criticisizing and we don't end up with as accurate a review on the work.
