Instructions: select the correct answer. why should writers take a break between writing the first draft and revising? to separate the processes of writing and revising to avoid becoming tired of the subject matter to have a fresh perspective on what they have written to get some much-needed rest

The reason writers should take a break between writing the first draft and the revising stage is so to have a fresh perspective on what they have written. Too often after writing a first draft, writers feel a strong connection to their work and are not welcome enough to begin the critiquing process. They are still in the same mindset of what they just created and do not want to change it or cannot see it from a different perspective that may benefit the work. Thus, they should take a break and come back to it later when they are refreshed and able to critique their work in order to revise it.
