Do you often have this feeling: After finishing an article, you think it's pretty good, but when you look back, there's always something that doesn't flow well; After publishing it, it's easier for others to find fault with it.

Why? Because a first draft is never a finished product. Truly good articles are all revised into excellence.

Even the most accomplished writers in history were no exception.

Tolstoy wrote "Resurrection" and could deliberate over a single character detail twenty times before being satisfied; Lu Xun's "Soap" was only seven thousand words, yet he made over a hundred changes when republishing it; Cao Xueqin wrote "Dream of the Red Chamber" and revised it for decades; Hemingway read "The Old Man and the Sea" two hundred times before submitting it; Qian Zhongshu revised "Fortress Besieged," scrutinizing everything from allusion sources to foreign language spelling, making over a thousand changes.

These examples illustrate a simple truth: revision is the core of writing.
