Duane H. Roen and R.J. Willey, the authors of the article, "The Effects of Audience Awareness on Drafting and Revising," claim that audience awareness has a huge impact on drafting and revising. There is a reference to Kolln ( 1984) that says students need to ask themselves three questions while writing: "What am I writing about? Who wants to know? Why am I writing about it?" (p. 269). Kolln warns students that before you can decide what you're going to write, you must identify the other two components of the writing situation: audience and purpose (p. 273). The authors show different examples and situations that show how important audience awareness really is. They do an excellent job showing why it is valuable and definitely gave me a new insight to use for my future papers.
