As a student, I recognized myself in Sommers' description of inexperienced writers because of how I was taught to write. Sommers' gives examples that inexperienced writers did not use the term revision. When I write I look at the word choices I use and how many times I have used the word I also edit when I am writing as oppose to writing drafts I correct as I am writing so therefore causing me waste alot of time in editing as opposed to just writing down all my ideas and then cleaning up my ideas. It my past experience in all my previous english courses teachers were concerned more with format, spelling mistakes, sentence run ons as opposed to my ideas or what i really wanted to say, it was more like what i thought the teacher wanted to see and now reading th e differnce between the experienced writer and inexperienced writer and what it means i can really identify why i have such a phobia of writing english papers , i always felt it was not good enough or really want to try because in my head wahat is the point of writing i am just going to get a "C' so i will just do bare minimal and not really give much thought into the paper , by gettign red inked or letter grades has decreased my self confidentcet as awriter thinking that i really dont have the skills when in actually all i need to do is get down my ideas and then correct formating and grammar and all the other stuff into place at the end and then i can organize my thoughts. i never really use revision, i call it editing while i am writing just so i can gt the paper done and not really put my passion or creative thoughts into place. so i am trying to let go the learned behavior of an inexperienced writer and think more like an expereienced wrtier and just write everything down and then get back to it and realizeing it is not going to make much sense but and tjat is okay and I can do later because a paper is better when thought and revision is done to it and to keep in mind that famous authors masterpieces is not done in one session.
