I agree with a lot of this, especially the point about revision. In my experience, the first draft is usually just a way to get ideas on the page, while the real improvement happens during editing. That’s often where weak arguments become stronger and the overall flow starts to make sense. I also think many students underestimate how difficult it is to create a clear thesis from the beginning. Once the main idea is solid, the rest of the assistance with writing tends to come together much more naturally. Writing definitely becomes easier with practice, but learning how to revise effectively is what makes the biggest difference.
