It's amazing what you can find on there.<br /><br />Gale,<br />I still do look for nuggets in my original draft, though. it may be a half-page of dialogue here and there.<br /><br />Robin,<br />Keep writing! Maybe this one will be straight revision! Fingers crossed!<br /><br />CL,<br />It's surprisingly not scary. John Green says that he tosses 90% of his first drafts!<br /><br />MG,<br />It's a lot easier to write when you really know your characters inside and out. So sometimes starting over is the quickest path.J.A.

Guess I should have started over from scratch.

You'd always be in danger of missing the change in how a character responds to a situation or forgetting to revise some dialogue that no longer fits.Gale Sypher Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316827256622168039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6265428284848727164.post-47715624725780641302010-12-19T06:36:30.053-05:002010-12-19T06:36:30.053-05:00J.A.
