A Time Before Revision
Feb 22, 2008

I haven’t done a writing post in some time, so here goes.

I am currently in the process of revision on a number of things. I have at least 6 stories that need revision and 2 novels. That means that in about a month or two I should be sending out a lot. Which is nice. But I need to get there.

I feel that I made some kind of breakthrough recently in the revision process. The writing groups have really helped, helped me to identify some of the weaknesses in my writing, helped me to address them. It took a little while, though. To see the patterns. To internalize the comments. Now the key is to make those lessons part of my writing technique and move forward.

Today I was supposed to leave for a writing retreat where I would be able to spend some time on these things. That didn’t quite happen due to the weather in NY, but tomorrow – tomorrow we will go.

I’m looking forward to it
