revision and writing groups

Revising is one of the most important steps in writing. With this personal narrative, the multiple drafts have begun to shape into a piece that I am proud of. The writing groups have helped more than I thought they would. Hearing opinions and ideas from multiple people has shown me different things that I never would have thought of on my own. Also, reading our stories outloud has caught silly mistakes that I know would have been overlooked. My favorite part about revising and writing groups has not involved my own paper. The best part was during the first time our group met together. Hearing other people's stories.
