Myself on Paper

Over the course of my English writing career writing has never came easy, it was a long grueling process that evolved over the years. I have seen the good papers and the not so good papers but I always kept my head up and kept trying.

My skills have grown and now I think I am at the top of my game and can only get better with my writing skills.

My revision technique was never been up to par because I always wrote my paper at the last minute so there was never any time to revise, but I have out grown that default and manage my time properly. Revision is the key to a good paper, if you revise well then it will reflect in the flow of any paper. According to an article in The Reading Teacher it states “The
