Quote of the day

"You write to communicate to the hearts and minds of others what's burning inside you. And we edit to let the fire show through the smoke." --Arthur Polotnik
I'm revising an MG and I'm loving it. There's just something about the revision process that jazzes me. How about you?

    I actually prefer revisions to writing the first draft. I just love making my prose come alive!

    I love the action of coming up with a new and better idea in the revision process. That's definitely the thing that keeps me revising.

    I love revising too, only thing is I'm chopping away words on my MG and ... quite frankly I'm not one bit happy about it.

    I enjoy revising too. Most of my career so far has been revising because I've had to teach myself how to write through the process. Now the thought of having to do it doesn't bother me.
