M. B. Weston’s Writing Diary: 03/08/15

Ediring the second draft of a novel or novella is like trying to sculpt a block of play-doh the size of a football field… With a scalpel…

Urgh.

That’s where I am right now. The glorious second draft, trying to take the scenes and make them sound good. I’m adding in the actual fights in the fight scenes. I’m making the dialog feel like dialog rather than an overdone Shakespearean play.

I have given myself two weeks to do this. It looks as though I will be confined to my office for a while…

Sigh. What is the hardest stage of the writing process for you?

Toodles!
