czarmaine (bookishbananas) asked Mary E. Pearson:

Do you get frustrated when your revising your work? what do you do to come up with new ideas? I write for the school paper and I just get frustrated when I need to revise :(

Mary E. Pearson No, I love the revising part! It is the first draft that kills me! In revising, the basics are already written down, and now I just have to move those words around, add to them, cut, build, and play! In the revising part of the process, I know I am sculpting a big lump of clay into something better.
