Revision is an integral part of the writing process. Consider this quote from a recent special edition of Time magazine entitled The 100 Most Influential People Who Never Lived: Giacomo Puccini’s opera Madame Butterfly failed, miserably, at its debut on Feb. 17, 1904, only to be hailed as a triumph on May 28, 1904, after the Italian composer gave it a major overhaul and staged a new version. Puccini finally stopped tinkering with the piece after five versions, and it’s the final one that remains one of the most performed operas in the world.
