- In “The Marker’s Eye” it states, “That difference in attitude is the difference between the amateur and professional, inexperience and experience, journeyman and craftsman. (Pg 1, paragraph 2).” I found this quote interesting since it explains how the drafting process can be compared based on the amount of work you put in. How drafting doesn’t mean that you’re done. It’s just the start of the writing process.
- “In school, we are taught to decode what appears on the page as finished writing. Writers, however, face a different category of possibility and responsibility when they read their own drafts. To them, the words on the page are never finished. Each can be changed and rearranged, which can set off a chain reaction of confusion or clarified meaning. This is a different kind of reading which is possibly more difficult and certainly more exciting. (Pg 1, paragraph 3).” As you can see, it explains how much difference there is when in school, they taught us one way, while as a writer it gives a bigger more advanced ideas on how much we can do when drafting and revising.
- “Once writers are sure the form is appropriate, they must then look at the structure, the order of what they have written. Good writing is built on a solid framework of logic, argument, narrative, or motivation which runs through the entire piece of writing and holds it together. This is the time when many writers find it most effective to outline as a way of visualizing the hidden spine by which the piece of writing is supported. (Pg 2, paragraph 17). This shows how important it is to include structure in your writing. And how it’s the foundations of our writing piece, and how much it could change and improve your writing.

Excellent, John! (note, it’s the “Maker’s” not “Marker’s” Eye).
