Re-viewing and Revising

Revision means “seeing again” — discovering again, conceiving again, shaping again. It may occur at any and all stages of the writing process, and most writers do a lot of it. Macro revising is making large, global, or fundamental changes that affect the overall direction or impact of writing — its purpose, organization, or audience. Its companion is micro revising, paying attention to sentences, words, punctuation, and grammar — including ways to create emphasis and eliminate wordiness.
