The revision process for the first paper was quite a task, to be honest. Once I had written the initial draft submitted for a tutor response, all I wanted to do was proofread the document once again and just submit it. It took some effort and convincing to reread the whole document and the comments of the tutor, and the start over with a new draft. It was quite frustrating in the beginning because, I think, once you write something, you just don't want to read the same words over and over again and try to analyze what to fix.
