Murray “The makers Eye: Revising Your Own Manuscripts “Murray discusses how amateur writers can become professional writers. By reading and rewriting students can become great writers and editors. The difference between a student draft anf a professional writer draft is that a writer will go over and over a draft many times when a writer makes one draft and he or she is far from the end they will go over that draft until all the errors and mistakes are totally gone (Murray 281). Murray states, “That the difference in attitude is the difference between amateur and professional, inexperience and experience, journeyman and craftsman. Peter F. Drucker, the prolific business writer, calls his first draft “the zero draft” after that Drucker starts to count. A student may do one or two drafts and hand in their work. Murray discuses how good writer most reread and rewrite and revise they work until it is worth reading.

>Murray: “My friend, my last name, last name, it was William Grier. William Grier was a member of the W.I.T.E.R. in Europe through the time before the Holocaust. I know him because I met him.
