Paper from the Past

I have written many papers over the years. From poems, to essays, to research papers and different kinds of narratives. The one that stands out in my mind the most is a research paper on capital punishment. I wrote this paper last year as a senior in high school. The process I took to write this paper was first a thesis statement, then I did my research for the subject, next an outline, then I wrote my notes on cards, finally the paper. I don't have a method to my writing, other than just sitting down gathering my thoughts and getting the paper done. This paper consisted of three drafts. I enjoyed writing this paper even though the paper was ten pages long. I also enjoyed writing this paper because I learned about capital punishment. 

I feel that the difference between editing and revising is that there is no difference. They are one in the same. Editing and revising is making changes or altering different things. When I think of revising I think about revising papers. When I think of editing though, I think about editing movies, magazines and newspapers. I think these two words can mean something different to others but to me they are the same.
