Comparing a rough draft to a polished final text, we often miss the raw voice and thought process. This raw voice can help readers connect with the meaning on a deeper level. On the other hand, a refined final text distils thoughts into essential elements, which might make it harder for readers to connect with the message.

However, delivering writing in a raw voice for the sake of it has its disadvantages too, such as culturally insensitive language getting in the way of meaning transfer, loose reasoning, and poor cohesion. It is then critical to find a balance between raw and polished final text. Do not mistake raw for authenticity nor distilled for clarity.
