This section really reminds us that writing isn't just about getting the words down, it's about crafting them in a way that truly conveys meaning.

The idea that revision is about "re-seeing" gives a nice take on editing, it’s less about correcting mistakes and more about discovering deeper layers in the work.

I also love the comparison to a scientist, emphasizing that writing, like any other skill or artistic pursuit, requires a meticulous and patient approach.

Revision isn't a chore but an exploration of what the writing can become.

Thanks for sharing!
