Tuning, Tying, and Training Texts: Metaphors for Revision

I feel like I can relate to most of the metaphors that Tomlinson describes in my writing.  In my article I sculpted the writing by first writing the whole text then going back and sculpting, or morphing the text on a finer level.  I also can relate to the painting metaphor because the author talks about different layers, and numerous stages of writing and editing, which I feel like is how I looked at different sections and  "painted over" a few things.  I feel like you don't have to worry about tying things off in an objective piece.. there isn't much to keep track of and tie off.  I also felt like a mechanic jumping around and tightening up a sentence here and there... fixing a broken phrase or misspelled word... trying to end up with a well-oiled running machine.  In wikipedia, I feel like the View History tab is a good example of Casting and Recasting, showing all the previous states how they were cast before, then what was reformed.  The revisions also take advantage of the shape of earlier casts and build on them making a better article.  The discussion tab is a good place for several different metaphors to come out and be talked about.  An article might have some loose ends, or might need a patch sewed in, or something cut out.  Basically a mechanics "to do list" for the article to get it up and running again.
