I found the article interesting. I like the idea of putting everything on paper and then going back two more times to finish it. So many times all of my ideas get lost because I dismiss them or tear them up. It is sort of like an artist...we are our own worst critics. I want to "get it al out" then go back and clean up.
I did not like the analogy of putting the mice in the jar to clear our minds of distractions. Later as the author stated, "a writer friend of mine suggests opening the jar and shooting them all in the head". That was extreme and disturbing.
The review clarified the article including the definition of revision implying to "resee and reimagine theoriginal material" and the distinction between editing and revision.
The Questioning Your Draft I will use the three questions and appreciate the explanation as to why each question is being asked....to track your assumptions, positons and tensions.
All in all I felt the article was helpful and will use the skills when writing my first draft of my research paper.
