But it's just the first thrash - the cutting out of the story. I have lots of ideas for the first revision - not sure if that's a good or bad thing! But I am stern with myself. No amendments until I've got the first pass down in total.<BR/><BR/>But it's very enjoyable and rewarding. I need to push through everyday stuff to get time to immerse myself. I can't just pick off half an hour or so.Avis HGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11373148753050857114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4975131335268195078.post-56416043379876443932008-10-31T14:22:00.000+00:002008-10-31T14:22:00.000+00:00Keep slugging away at the novel, Avis.

It's an endurance test--a marathon compared to the sprints of flash fiction.<BR/><BR/>Lord knows, I've started several, including one weighing in at 150,000 words. (Don't publishers pay by the pound?) Several shorter ones are currently in my desk drawer looking for asylum in a neutral place.Walt Giersbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326037798233835128noreply@blogger.com
