So as my Advanced Fiction Writing class is coming to an end this semester, I decided to make a resolution for my Fiction blog "All the World' s A Stage...". Having great feedback and guidance on my work, one of my weakest areas really came in to focus: revising.
Not only did I miss several key descrepancies in my work, but silly litte things that kill the flow of a story were missed as well: wrong verb tense, sentence fragments, typos and on and on.
While I normally permit the Creative Me to ooze content and tell the Creative Me that the Diligent Me will fix it later, I have come to the conclusion that the Diligent Me is not so diligent!
Not to be detered as I love a challenge, I know that the Diligent Me doesn't get used all that much which is the cause of this lack of ability. So, to correct this problem, I am going to begin to start revising my pieces at least twice before I just leave them alone in cyberspace.
There are a lot of pieces that I have already posted that could use, or really need, revision. So, I am thinking that will be a great place to get things started.
Great ideas don't necessarily make great stories. That is a harsh reality brought to my attention and I intend to correct that problem!
