Surviving Revising

May 14, 2023 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Many authors considering drafting the “fun” part, there are no rules, messy parts can be glossed over, and you experience that satisfaction of typing “The End.” But without a roadmap for the first, second, and even eighth re-write, revision can seem frustrating and endless. Join us as we discuss methods of improving (and not just changing) a manuscript, maintaining energy and interest in a project, and how to recognize when a piece is “done.”
