I really shouldn't be posting about this now. I should be focused on NaNo, writing like crazy... But this post I just found, from Janice Hardy over at The Other Side of the Story, is so great and struck so many chords for me, that I had to share. And also, this way I'll have it linked here and easily findable when I finally get around to finishing that hardest of the hard revisions for Restoring Experience--the last one.
If you're revising and you haven't seen Janice's post yet (it's from yesterday), please take a jump over now and bookmark it, or print it, or do whatever you do with valuable information on the internet. I thought it was brilliant--hopefully you will too.
In the immortal words of Rick Bylina (another fantastic blog on writing by a self-published author of uncommon wit and brilliant insight), Write on!
Quiet Laughter. Musings and stories on blurred cultural boundaries.
Thanks for sharing this! I'm nowhere near the revision stage yet, but have bookmarked this for when I get to that point. Great advice!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck on NaNo!! :)
Thanks, Julie :) Oh, enjoy the brief ecstasy of no-revision :D It'll end all too soon... But, as much as I hate it, I do admit that that's where the story really begins to come into its own. One day, perhaps, I'll be able to say "I love revisions". Not yet. But I do respect them :)
