First times always a little rocky

There were many points made in chapters 24 and 25 that i agreed with. One is not revise what you write for yourself. I think to many people i n this society have that problem, i get so annoyed if i write a quick post on a friends wall and they correct my grammar. It's a wall post of Facebook, not a paper to be turned in for a grade.
I also really agreed with the list of questions you need to ask someone who is reading your story. You need to know that they understand and that all the points you were trying to make came through. I think that is really hard for some people, to make sure people understand what they were trying to say.
I read the section on rewriting but i can't say its really for me. I rewrite paragraphs and ideas, but i have never rewrote a whole paper from a different point of view or genre. Actually it does sound pretty interesting for an exercise, but i wouldn't do it on a paper to paper basses. That would e a fun assignment though, write something than rewirte it for a different genre or point of view or only dialogue or something. It reminds me of the acting exercises we use to do at theater school.
