rough and final drafts


Question Posted Sunday September 2 2007, 5:03 pm

okay, you know when you're writing, and your teacher asks you to write a rough draft? well, I did. and my classmates took turns correcting it for me (as part of a class assignment)

my question is : when you're typing up the final draft, are there allowed to be changes in the actual story from the way the story in the rough draft was originally? like...are you allowed to add on scenes?
thanks.

of course you are. the purpose of a rough draft is just practice for the actual thing, and writing it would be completely useless if you didn't plan on improving it.

Hello.

The purpose of a rough draft is to draft what you're going to right. Its rough and its just for the sake of bettering your final.

Whose piece is this? Yours, right? Who, then, is in charge of it? You are. So can anyone tell you that you can't? No.

If you want to add things or delete things- go ahead. In fact, its encouraged by a lot of teachers that you do change from what you first wrote. It shows that you are able to edit and stuff.

Happy writing.

Yeah, that's the entire point of a rough draft. You can reword things, delete entire paragraphs, add more information in, etc. Your final should, ideally, be a lot different than the first draft, or at least have improved spelling and grammar. Especially since so many people have read over it- more ideas were contributed.
