  • Writing is a process. Revision is the magic in the process. It's what breathes energy into an otherwise lifeless body of words. When you write knowing that you can undo or change everything if you desire, that's precisely what invites an unlimited level of creativity.
    Obert Skye is the author of the Leven Thumps book series, among other interesting, well-revised, published works.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

      Me, patiently waiting for him to say something of value other than "revision is a good thing to do." As if we don't already know that.

    I'm required to watch this video for COMP 1301. Something that Obert Skye mentioned and I thought was important is the Obert Eight process. He mentioned the fifth step is to revise. 87% of people dread revising their paper. Revision is understanding. We revise to tell the best story and properly express, we revise for the benefit of others. Our ideas deserve to be properly revised.The magic of revision stands like a wizard and it turns pens and pencils into wands. This shows how powerful and important the revision process is. Overall, poetically beautiful ted talk.

    I've always moved on from a novel after I've written the first two drafts. Moved on or had a pity party that no one would want to read it (self reject ahead of time). Now that I finally have a novel others are interested in, I have to learn this new step of "revision" and I'm def afraid.

      You didn't need to be rude in your comment. You could've just said " in short, revision makes your work better" that's it. You didn't need to insult the dude or his speech. You didnt need to call yourself a hero for a hurtful comment... especially after watching this you can tell he's nervous and probably planned and " revised" his speech a dozen times to make it memorable and funny so the point sticks. I agree with the "revise yourself" comment.
