A.W.O.L.

I’ve been absent from the blogosphere for a while. Between vacation and revisions, I’ve been really busy. Vacations are the great kind of busy, but you know, so are revisions. There’s something extremely satisfying in taking on the challenge of s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g oneself creatively to try to find a better way to tell parts of a story. And it’s also extremely satisfying to delete large chunks of “phew-eee stuff” (saving it, of course, in case I need to rescue a bit of it later) and replacing it with new and better stuff. Okay, new and hopefully better. Anyways…back to it, got a ways to go still. What’s been your experience with the revision process? Any good stories or advice out there?
