In class we learned about the different steps to writing, and I found that I had overlooked some steps...or, not really known they had existed. The "Discovering Form" section was one that I have never heard of, but I have known subconsciously. I also was previously unaware that "Revising" and "Editing" are different. I have always done both, I believe, but I had simply grouped both in the "Editing" department. I also learned that writing is something that always stems from a thought, no matter how much poets or novelists might claim that their writings were random. Even if you do not consciously realize that the words you are writing are from a certain source, they are. That was an interesting concept of writing that I had never looked at before. All of this new info will come in handy when writing essays!
