In this essay, “The Marker’s eyes”, the author, Donald Murray details how the writer needs to produce a progression of the draft. Murray also stresses the importance of revising your draft is when you really discover the deeper meaning of your writing. Murray explains how to a professional writer, the first draft and its following drafts are what helps them to get started with the writing task. The author also talks about developing a special type of reading skill, which will help the writer progress from draft to draft. He goes and says that writing is never finished in the writer's eye, it can always be modified and rearranged. The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate to the readers how important revising is

in improving your writing and helping your final piece. Similarly, in the “Freewriting” by Peter Elbow, the author explain that how important and helpful to improve your writing. Elbow suggests “to write for ten minutes” on a piece of paper “whatever is in your mind.” He describes a way in which you just begin to write your thoughts however they come to you even if it’s a thought like I don’t know what to say, as long as you’re continuously writing these thoughts down on paper. He also argues about how the consistent editing of our writing causes us to lose focus.Likewise, Annie Dillard began her writing by explaining the complexity of the writing process. She starts with the importance of the word as a tool, a hammer, a pick, that gets to the root of the gold you are searching, plumbing depths and getting you closer to the truth. Lastly, Anne Lamott describes applying the technique of writing to her actual life. She began by telling readers of her position writing food reviews for a California magazine. She would go to a restaurant, she would sit down and began her journey in trying to write her first draft; she started to develop a more precise writing process, starting with an outline to organize her thoughts, and going from draft to draft from there.
