Go to For the Serious Writer - A Course in RevisionAdd a commentGo to Enter: Stage Right. Exit: Stage Directions

Thanks for the comments. The reason I am blogging this course now is quite rudimentary. Every time I finisha drft, I wait seven weeks before I start the revision work. Duing that time I review my notes on revision. This time I decided to pump out a course from those notes over the seven week period - and why not share these ideas in a blog.So, although I am resting a bit over the holidays, there's a ton more coming.

As i read your first sentence
Had this this familialiar flash of initial vision and writing, which always seems to become the remnants of a vision (which explains why poetry is called poetry and not teleptathy) to become craft.

As I got into the rhythmn of your piece (as well as the concrete direction) I was having this simultaneous thought of what Spencer Tracy once told Burt Reynolds, that "less is always more".

Not sure I should thank you for shaking one of my rattles, beacuse now I'm back in process again, thinking about the inner nature of your thought.
