Finish first draft, revise it enough to make it interesting & readable, and then get two friends to read it and then after discuss it with one another.
- The conversation will help you gain a better perspective and even new ideas and hopefully will allow you to decide what you think.
- Minimal feedback
- Little feedback
This allows to remove unnecessary details, words, or even sentences. And this will allow the paper to flow and even remove parts in the paper that were weighing it down.
- explain idea entirely differently
- more detail and commentary
- remove any bumps (more clearer examples/details)
- rearranging ideas
Nausea
After all this revision and feedback, it might discourage how you feel towards your paper. You or someone else may have marked your entire paper because it had unnecessary sentences. It will most like occur towards the end and you might feel that your paper is short and mediocre and you may have to rewrite the entire thing when you realize how many changes you had to make. But this will only make you a BETTER writer!
****"Now when your mind is clear you can make a simple rule to cling to later when your mind is clouded: never do major revising when nauseated by YOUR writing."****
