So, It has been several months since I last wrote in my blogs. Man, how the time flies. I have been writing, though. After my workshop, I have spent more time fine tuning pieces and I have even begun to revise my novel! And the revision of Phin has been wonderful, especially now that we are heading into fall; the smells, the colors of changing leaves, the change of clothing, all things that made me love the novel, or rather everything I love is in the novel!
I am taking an fiction writing course this fall and after two assignments, I have realized how important stepping away from a piece and revisiting it is for the quality of the piece. One of my favorite pieces, which I felt was missing something, was used as an assignment piece. My instructor made comments and asked questions in all the right spots and made me realize I am selling myself short when I write and revise. I am holding back, yet some how flying.
Odd, am I not?
