Experienced Writer
I think this is something that an experienced writer would say. But as a student, when I first write a paper, I have the thought that what I am writing is really good, because everything seems to flow. There seems to be no confusion at all. And when I come up with a really good idea I get very excited that I was able to come up with that. But with an experienced writer, they know that there first draft is not going to be perfect. Experienced writer look at more than just meeting the minimum requirement they look at the content and what the paper is telling the reader.

I agree with your statement about the fact that an experienced writer is more patient and does not marry their first draft as a student would. A student writer has the tendency to like their first draft and turn it in, while an experienced writer looks for errors and will revise the paper multiple times.

Same thing with me Chi, after I write my paper I think that my paper is nothing left then flawless, but I do know in the back of my head that it needs work. I don't generally like criticism so I don't like people saying that my paper is wrong, but positive criticism always helps a paper get better. Rather than pointing out their faults, others can help and improve ideas and the overall paper.
