That looks like a lot of hard work!

Happy Saturday!

  Hard work…but lots of fun. I think. I hope.

I guess on the bright side they’ve given you some direction to go. Or not go. Good luck with re-write.

  Oh, these are just my notes, S~. I have critters notes eslewhere. So yes–I have a lot to work with. I’m somewhere between really excited and really overwhelmed. Good times!

This poet hears these six words loudly, clearly, and often.

  I wish I did, Ron! I haven’t made friends with Revision yet. I’m only slowly beginning to accept Her.

I go around and around with things like that and wind up trashing the whole thing. My patience wears thin too easy. Good luck:)

  Jill, I wish I had the courage to trash one thing. Just one thing! Alas, I do not. I end up trunking too many ideas rather than being rid of them altogether. Someone gave me some perspective recently, though, that may change my outlook on killing certain projects:
  
  When I die, someone is going to go through all of my things and read this stuff. Is that how I want to be remembered?
  
  Yikes! Better get back to rewriting.

Oh, I’m all too familiar with pages that look like that. I just ripped apart a story I wrote 4 years ago in order to completely rewrite it. Best wishes on your revisions!

Thanks for playing 6WS!

Editing! Seems like I’ve been doing it forever. Keep telling yourself it will be worth the hard work.

Mama always said writin’ was like a box of chocolates…You never know what you’re goin’ to get.

That’s all I got to say ’bout that.
