It's too easy to get locked into what's there, and I've been doing that for too long with the piece in question-- <I>Those paragraphs, in that order</I>.<BR/>It's made it hard to get started.

Toying on the same text doesn't give you the same freedom to THINK about what you really want to put in there and what everything means. It seems like a lot of hard work (and it is) but the results are always a surprise.spacedlawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12462723005560128474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039827405459731562.post-38208650264480794342008-10-14T14:47:00.000-04:002008-10-14T14:47:00.000-04:00Good luck with the rewriting; it's horrible to sta...Good luck with the rewriting; it's horrible to start, but once you're into it, I think it'll go well enough. :)Dread Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03081969484772150648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039827405459731562.post-29410808638659445722008-10-14T13:17:00.000-04:002008-10-14T13:17:00.000-04:00I still say the Grauniad should fire Woe Zilliams ...I still say the Grauniad should fire Woe Zilliams and hire you, Goldfish. ;)<BR/><BR/>Writing again from scratch is something I wish they'd made us do in grad school. There was always that "significant revision" due at the end of every semester, but demanding that we start completely over would have been more of a challenge, I think. It's too easy to change a draft without actually revising Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03251196964275450121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039827405459731562.post-41738667022298784422008-10-14T08:01:00.000-04:002008-10-14T08:01:00.000-04:00Thank you Jess, you are very kind. :-)I have found...Thank you Jess, you are very kind. :-)<BR/><BR/>I have found with my editing process that some passages do need rewriting from scratch. Bits which I know inside out in my mind, but which on the page have become knotted up with overwriting.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck with your lost girl!The Goldfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213378454070776331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039827405459731562.post-13076057902614535672008-10-14T00:34:00.000-04:002008-10-14T00:34:00.000-04:00I thought her Dalek cake looked fantastic.

I think I started reading her blog a while ago after seeing it being mentioned on yours...<BR/>I want that Dalek cake.<BR/>A friend of mine knitted a Dalek. Its so cute. Is that an Oxymoron calling a Dalek cute? I was petrified of Daleks as a child, if you'd given me that Dalek cake then I would probably have run screaming.Dragonsallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13776798562258217431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039827405459731562.post-3591995446249708052008-10-13T14:47:00.000-04:002008-10-13T14:47:00.000-04:00NOW WE CON-SUME THE CHOC-O-LATE BUT-TONS.
