revising:     abc<-

    The more I revise my papers, the worse they get sometimes.

    I think it's because I skip around too much and end up
    saying the same thing in multiple places.  I also end up
    taking out important details.

    If I revised and revised a paper forever, it could end up
    consisting of one sentence repeated over and over.  

    
    [By the way, I have plenty of proof of this.  I used to always
    get comments from teachers in high school praising me for
    proofreading my papers, although I never proofread any of
    the ones I got those comments for.

    On the other hand, I have several bad grades on papers that
    I managed to start and finish ahead of time.  Hopefully
    my 6.101 paper won't follow this trend, since I wrote quite
    a bit of it last week.]
