Just finished reading (or should I say devouring) James Scott Bell's
Revision and Self-Editing for Publication - Techniques for Transforming Your First draft into a Novel that Sells. What a wonderful tool this is to assist writers in the revision of their work in an organized and systematic manner. They say that writing is rewriting and I agree. I now feel confident (with this in hand) to begin cutting into my baby. For whatever it's worth, coming from a new writer like myself, I highly recommend this book to anyone contemplating the task of writing and editing a novel.
Doug; Thanks for all your coments, I was checking my comments and I found a bunch from you, thanks for your support. Ps isn't it time for another good post from you. See your Sunday. GB
