Ballenger writes about revision in this section of the book to a great extent and this chapter is filled with priceless revising techniques. He tells the reader/writer that even though it’s hard to look at a draft of your prized writing and see it’s flaws it’s definitely necessary to take that second, third or fourth look to get what it is that the draft is missing, or to see what needs to be taken out.
Ballenger talks about the thesis of the draft as a tool for revision and how a re seeing of the thesis might help expand ideas and broaden the mind to new writing purposes and focuses that the writer may not have otherwise explored.
Ballenger also brings up that it would be extremely beneficial to the writer to reexamine the information and resources drawn upon in the first draft, and also that there may be some information holes in the research draft and quick looks for new, small filler facts might drive home points and help paint the picture better for the audience.
