did she have to do a massive re-write too? Please share that bottle!!!
Reflections on intimacy and relationships in this modern world That sounds so high brow, I have a nosebleed. With laughter and chocolate truffles anything can be reflected upon.
Well, I am a blogger who is an aspiring author, or an author masquerading as a blogger. Not sure which one yet. I am hiding from my book and the massive amounts or rewrites I KNOW it is going to need. I am hoping an editing fairy will visit and take it from me!!
ReplyDeleteBrandy, the most important thing is that you finish a first draft of your manuscript. Don't think about editing or rewriting it; that comes later. So be brave, finish your first draft and you will have the most wonderful feelings of satisfaction and personal achievement. Only then think about editing and rewriting; your pride in completing your first manuscript will provide the encouragement you need.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous you are absolutely right! Finishing my first m/s was an incredible high for me. I can say that b/c it just happened this past summer. Brandy- are you familiar with 'On Writing' by King? I'm going to paraphrase what that book did for me in getting the first draft done:
ReplyDelete1. MAKE A COMMITTMENT. When you decide to start your writing, take a guesstimate of how many words you think (as in GUESS) it will be. Then, when do you want the m/s done? For me, I took his advice and did 2K wd/s a day- 7 days a week for 3 mos. Now I'm semi retired and empty nest. It was basically turn off the idiot box.
2. See rule number 1.
Thanks for posting!
