Summary: In "Decisions and Revisions: The Planning Strategies of a Publishing Writer," Carol discusses her research she did on Murray, paying close attention to the setting in 'which the writer composes, the kind of task the writer confronts, what the writer can tell us of his own processes.'

QD: 1. I was impressed with how well his process is of writing. I do not feel I am as collected as he is, but the way he goes about his writing and his processes is similar in the sense that I have a specific way I go about my papers.
2. His audience seems to be an official one where when I write I normally am just thinking of the audience as people of my own age.
3. Formed a more intricate set of steps to the understanding and showed how it is important.

AEI: 1. I would have to say I do not spend as much time revising my papers as I know that I should. I normally will go through and look at spelling and my sentences and such, but I never really dig deeper than that and never really revise it as a whole. I just find myself looking at different sections of the paper and revising it that way.

MM: I will use the revising and editing part a lot more with my writings. I feel this will be very beneficial and will help myself understand that it does take a lot of time to produce a piece of work and that it is okay to take awhile when you are editing.

Reflection: I liked this piece because it gave more insight to when you are writing a research paper the different steps that you can take for it to be efficient.
