How difficult is rewriting? Especially for an 80,000/100,000 word book? What advice do you all have?

Never have I ever even attempted to rewrite anything that long, but here’s my two cents anyway.

Rewriting is exhausting–physically and emotionally. After all, the reason we rewrite is to make our work better, right? It’s…[Read more]

Wow. Congrats and congrats again.

I’m toying with the idea of re-writing my WIP’s prologue. While incessantly re-reading everything Kate and I have discussed on my novel excerpt page.

@daeus How’s things?

@daues How’s things?

I am too. *throws schoolwork aside* @daeus @dragon-snapper @graciegirl

Excellent point @dragon-snapper

That was rather anticlimactic @dragon-snapper

You know, I’d be happy if this was for regular school, but I’m dual-enrolled. After I graduate, I’ll be doing this same stinkin’ stuff. No rest for the weary writer. @graciegirl

I’m working on a “short story” for my creative writing portfolio. Luckily, I’m almost done with it, but I still have math, Greek Mythology, and an American Literature final paper to start…*sighs*

@kate-flournoy I responded to your questions on my excerpt forum, just to let ya know.

@graciegirl The first character of yours that @dragon-snapper listed sounds really interesting! I’m always curious to see how others go about the concept of elementals.

If one wanted to learn how to draw, how would they start? @dragon-snapper

There’s so many… :O @dragon-snapper

Really, really great drawing. There’s no way I could ever do something like that. @Christi-eaton

I’ve been babysitting since 9:30 this morning, just got back to my house 15min ago.

Just responded. @kate-flournoy

@kate-flournoy Okay. I think I’ve been thinking about the relationship between plot and characters wrong my entire life. But that’s okay. At least I’m learning the truth now, right? *sighs*

The good news is, it’s starting to make sense. So…to plan out where I want the story to go, it sounds like I need to ask myself how Kara would react to…[Read more]
