I remember when I wrote my ad essay for English 103 a few months ago. I was in my dorm room looking up research for my paper while listening to Staind, Three Days Grace, and Seether. I remember I was up all night writing my paper the night before it was due. I was also eating chips and drinking some vanilla coke to add to my music listening. Luckily for me, it was the final draft and not the whole paper, so I didn't have to work on the paper as much. Even though I stayed up all night working on the paper, I did get it done. I ended up doing good because of it too.
The type of paper I did was an ad essay. I was suppose to look at Mac PC ads and tell the meaning behind the ads. It was a very hard essay for me to do, but I did get it done. It took a lot of research and hard work for me to get it done, but I did get it done. The main thing that helped me with the essay was doing numerous drafts. I did a rough draft, a revised draft, and a final draft. I hated revising over and over again, but I feel like it was worth it. I ended up writing a better paper and I got a better grade on my paper because I wrote numerous drafts.
I feel like the difference between editing and revising is editing is more fixing a paper and making it better and revising is fixing all mistakes and making the paper a final product. When you edit a paper, you just try to make it better. You're not necessarily making it a perfect paper. You're just making it better than the last draft of your paper. When you revise a paper, however, you're trying to fix all mistakes in a paper. You read over each draft and you fix each mistake that is made in a given paper. This is how revising is different from editing. Revising is when you fix the paper to make it the best it can possibly be and editing is making a paper better but not necessarily a final product.
