On Idleness and Grief

Revision 1

Lyric

Revision 1 has annotations and markings including: Strikethroughs, brackets, and marginalia. The variety of ways to mark insertions and deletions indicates that a creative revision process is fluid. Brackets may be introduced. The first revision showcases that markings may not be just insertions and deletions. Annotations may be marked as explainations. Each final's revision considered as distinct creative revision processes showcases this fluidity.

Final

Lyric

Like revision one, the final lyric has marginalia. Except that instead of explaining the omissions, the marginilia functions as director's decisions. Additionally, lines are drawn circumventing the handwritten lines. Since creative creative revision processes are fluid, the final lyric harkens back to its revision while retaining a disctinction.
