Famous Authors On Rewriting

1) Laurie Halse Anderson

“Revision means throwing out the boring crap and making what’s left sound natural.”

2) Neil Gaiman

“The best advice I can give on this is, once it’s done, to put it away until you can read it with new eyes. Finish the short story, print it out, then put it in a drawer and write other things. When you’re ready, pick it up and read it, as if you’ve never read it before. If there are things you aren’t satisfied with as a reader, go in and fix them as a writer: that’s revision.” 

3) Elmore Leonard

“If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it.”
