But subsequent drafts are when you can start layering on all the good stuff.Linda Sandiferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699964503061146458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036081035522911730.post-73285861214491937202012-06-18T11:42:02.952-07:002012-06-18T11:42:02.952-07:00I enjoyed your blog, Sandy.

When I was in gradeschool and coloring pictures, I was compelled to draw a sun in the top right hand corner. I tried not to once but couldn't. The sun HAD to be in that corner.<br /><br />What's this got to do with writing? In a way, a lot. If there is a word I need to find, or a place, I can't leave a space and continue. I HAVE to find it while it's on my mind. I have to put that sun in the corner. So the result is, I'm revising a little as I go.<br /><br />SherryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036081035522911730.post-49894473649857232662012-06-07T20:26:14.041-07:002012-06-07T20:26:14.041-07:00Good suggestions, Sandy. You know the old saying:...Good suggestions, Sandy. You know the old saying: "To write is to rewrite." We all have our own systems. For me, I just start to read the story over again. When I'm not looking for specific things that are wrong, they soon show up. Then I start the fix. I usually fix as I go. Sometimes it takes four or five readings ... maybe more before I get it to where I'm satisfied. Then I hire an editor. :)Will Edwinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833144775064887475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8036081035522911730.post-48156831004583958672012-06-07T20:01:49.414-07:002012-06-07T20:01:49.414-07:00Sandy - great set of suggestions.

Takes a lot of skill and patience to have the "good stuff' finally see the light of day. RichardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
