I h...This week has just been eaten away from me...<br /><br />I have been thinking about your new process and wanting to get my hands on it. I think that relentless editing can make good stuff great - but it can't fix good stuff that doesn't work. And when you're totally immersed in your world and your story - I think there's so much more opportunity to make the story bigger. It's like building a house - what you're doing allows you to add crazy rooms and vaulted ceilings and big stircases and little hidey holes and surprising corners - the editing is the paint and the windows and the facny cedar shingles - but as pretty as that is, it won't make a square house more interesting, or a sagging house more stable. <br /><br />I want what you've got right now - I really do.Molly O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171236688541657736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-84711842107387914872009-11-19T11:50:45.032-05:002009-11-19T11:50:45.032-05:00Yay, you!Yay, you!Bev Katz Rosenbaumhttp://bevkatzrosenbaum.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-77244742536142836322009-11-19T10:41:19.096-05:002009-11-19T10:41:19.096-05:00Maureen, so glad the writing fast thing is working...Maureen, so glad the writing fast thing is working. <br />It's worked for me in the past as well, the key, for me, being not to edit at all.
