As a writer, I have always been a big proofreader of my work. I would sometimes look over my papers several times before submitting them. Most of the times I would catch 90% of my errors, not all the time though. I learned that reading your paper out loud can also improve your proofreading. Sometimes just looking over a paper isn’t enough. When you hear the writing though, you can hear what others will be hearing. I would catch small errors because the sentence didn’t sound right or it was a run on sentence. These are things I would sometimes miss just reading my paper.…

Donald Murray, a college professor at the University of New Hampshire, discusses in his article, “The Maker’s Eye: Revising Your Own Manuscripts,” that he believes that student responsibility is the biggest part in being a successful writer at the college level. Murray believes that it is the student’s responsibility to make sure they manage their time accordingly and put enough time and effort into their work so that it is of quality. Murray also discusses one of the main problems Transitioning students face is not only being able to read their own work critically, but to read their work constructively. “Writers must learn to be their own best enemy.” Murray wants the writers to be responsible for receiving criticism and praise and being able to use that feedback in a constructive way. Although Murray talks a lot about being your own critic and revising your work with more care, all these points fall under the subject of student responsibility and how Murray wants the writers to look at their work more critically.…

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1924, Donald M. Murray taught writing for many years at the University of New Hampshire, his alma mater. He has served as an editor at Time magazine, and he won the Pulitzer Prize in 1954 for editorials that appeared in the Boston Globe. Murray’s published works include novels, short stories, poetry, and sourcebooks for teachers of writing, like A Writer Teaches Writing (1968), The Craft of Revision (1991), and Learning by Teaching (1982), in which he explores aspects of the writing process. Write to Learn, (6th ed,. 1998), a textbook for college composition courses, is based on Murray’s belief that writers learn to write by writing, by taking a piece of writing through the whole process, from invention to revision. In the following essay, first published in the Writer in October 1973 and later revised for this text, Murray discusses the importance of revision to the work of the writer. Most professional writers live by the maxim that “writing is rewriting.” And to rewrite or revise effectively, we need to become better readers of our own work, open to discovering new meanings, and sensitive to our use of language. Murray draws on the experiences of many writers to make a compelling argument for careful revising and editing.…
