Very informative essay on revision. I believe every word. Since we've been engaged in our own revision period in sweethearts I have personal experience with lengthy revisions. The old days of doing a mere punctuation sweep are over. One of my stories took over a year to complete.(factoring in the breaks) It's only lately that I've come to the realization that this is not unusual. It seems there are a lot of us busily revising away in the wee hours of the night.

I belong to this fantastic writer’s group called Sweet Hearts of the Rodeo and the group can be found at Writers University, which I have been a lifelong member since the late 90’s.
This is an intense study group that involves the reading and discussion of short stories as well as articles and books on craft. It is not for beginners. The focus is on literary and mainstream short stories, and the work requires a commitment of many hours a week. Word count is 1,500 to 6,500.

You got it girlfriend and yes we are dabbing into the wee hours of the morn. I'm thankful to learn that others are revising as much as I do. LOL
