There's no reason you shouldn't, as a writer, not be aware of the necessity to revise yourself constantly.
Finding pleasure in revision is the thing I would most strongly advise to people. It's not something I did as a younger writer; I learned it over time.
I don't really revise. I tend to rewrite.
Sometimes I can spend as long revising a manuscript as I spent writing it in the first place.
I edit as I write. I revise endlessly. I don't go forward until I know that what I've written is as good as I can make it.
I probably spend 90% of my time revising what I've written.

And to revise and revise and revise.
