Revision and Workshop  

Posted by kgreco


I have found that revision is very beneficial to my poems. I have been frustrated a lot but my poem does improve. If I take a break and then go back to my poem it does help me. I think I look at it too long and then get frustrated and upset.  I have been really nervous about the workshop. I am up on the first day and I’m scared about what everyone is going to say about it. This is the first time that I have ever worked with poetry so I feel that my poems are going to be raw compared to everyone else. Workshop does sound like it is going to be very helpful for me and it might make it so that completing my portfolio will be easier. I will admit that I am a little curious about what comments I am going to get because this will be the first time anyone has read them before.

I agree with the part about looking at it for too long. I start to feel like I've only picked up on the same things a break usually helps me dig past them. I've been writing for a few years now but this is the first heavy revision I've ever done either. I'm interested to see where it will take my writing.
