Revision

By Anita Mathias

Revision is a bit like piano-tuning, trying to develop perfect pitch. Shake your page so that all unnecessary words fall off, so that what remains is tighter, preciser.
Revision is easier when you view the piece of work at a distance, far from the memories of the ecstasy, ardour, sweat and love which attended its conception and creation.
