Welcome

Writing: a work in progress.

"If a teacher told me to revise, I thought that meant my writing was a broken-down car that needed to go to the repair shop. I felt insulted. I didn't realize the teacher was saying, "Make it shine. It's worth it." Now I see revision as a beautiful word of hope. It's a new vision of something. It means you don't have to be perfect the first time. What a relief!"

Naomi Shihab Nye

Let's revision our words into powerful prose!

After all, you've been doing it for four years in writing class. You've got the right stuff!
