In this chapter the author focuses on the revising part of writing an essay. The thing that stood out to me the most was that you can revise at any point of your writing. While growing up and going to school teachers always tell you to write your first draft and THEN you can scribble all over it and revise it. When in reality you revise all the time. When you think of an idea and think of it in many different ways you are already revising that thought. What was helpful was that you can start off with just revising your thesis and making sure you are getting to the freaking point. After revising your thesis you can revise one sentence at a time until you have revised your essay as a whole. The revision checklist makes sure you ask yourself the important questions and are able to answer your research question clearly.
