My Arabian Nights Story

I think that revision means to change a piece of writing, not mechanical errors like editing. It is when you add a whole new part of your story. For example, the first paragraph of my story wasn’t even there in my first draft. When I read it over, I realized that I needed some more description. I think that it was really helpful to the story. I also changed the plot of the camel and owner. In the original version, they were on the way to kill the King Of Riyadh. For those of you who don’t know, Riyadh is the capital of Saudi Arabia.

I think that the writing piece as a whole is really good. It took me a lot of time and I’m proud of it. I really thought about my revisions and tried to make them meaningful. I realized that in the beginning of the year I wasn’t taking anything seriously. I didn’t want that to be a trend for the whole year. I wanted to show that I could actually take things seriously like I have in the past years.
