Collin Brooke and Allison Carr deliberate the ultimate message in the article, “Failure Can Be an Important Part of Writing Development”, failure is going to happen. They share that no writer is blessed with the ability to create a perfect first draft. For nearly everyone, a published draft consist of a very rough draft, filtered through by multiple edits and being fixed. As you grow as a writer, you have to continue to always push yourself. It isn’t going to always be right, in fact, one set of revisions may not even do the trick. In order to make a piece the best that it can be, It should be revised multiple times. Having other people revise your work can also help the piece. Reading it from a different stand point allows it to reach more of your audience.
I chose this GIF because I feel that it represents the idea of failure, in writing as well as in life. You are going to mess up, make errors, and even completely fail. But what is important is that you stand back up, you keep going, and you don’t give up. No matter how many times you get feedback that you need to change something, you have to remember its for the cause of making a good writing piece.
Carr and Brooke also point out the fact that if you are to scared to take the risk of failing, you will never step past your current writing abilities. To become a better writer, you must try new things. Most likely, the first time you try a new writing technique, it isn’t going to be perfect, you may even fail. This just means it is time to go back to the drawing board, see where we can fit it, and improve our writing. This is why I chose this image. Trying and failing are a constant cycle.
If you don’t continue to try once you have failed, you will be stuck in a position of failure. However, if you push through, you will eventually see the light at the end of the tunnel. You will begin seeing where you are succeeding and making progress with your writing.
Failure is one of the main components when it comes to properly creating a work of art. Pushing through the idea of failing brings you to success. If you never fail, you are never getting better or obtaining any additional knowledge.
