was watching an episode of NIE Education Launchpad (thanks rab for introducing this newly launched site to me), and this was what Dr. Anitha Devi Pillai said in chapter 3:
“Every single writer I know, has this mantra. It’s mine too. Write and revise. Write and revise. Revision is such an important part of writing. You never get it right in the first draft you know. It is a draft. It’s just a draft. You write, you think about it, walk away from the text, come back to it, revise it.”
