Writers generally fall into one of two camps when it comes to revising their work. Some writers simply hate the idea of rewriting anything; once they've finished their first draft, they would prefer never to deal with it again. Others take revising so seriously that it's hard to get them to stop tinkering and send their work out. If you receive one rejection after another for your queries, proposals, or manuscripts, it's time to sit down and seriously consider making changes in your material.
