Revision-Ninja


Daniel Craig keeps giving me pep talks. Being my muse, he's very conscientious that way. His hair is spiky and he's barely half-awake. But that doesn't stop Dan! Get your mug of Red Zinger, he says. Forget the left-over lasagna in the fridge. Take out your red Sharpie and repeat to yourself--the difference between good writing and bad? Revision, revision, revision.

Thank you, Mr. Muse, for that timely reminder. Today, I will wield my pen like a wordsmithing warrior. I'll cut and add until this damn thing shines.

I am the Revision-Ninja! (If I say this enough, will it be true?)

Good luck on those revisions, bloggers. How are they going?

  2. Go, ninja friend! Gracefully defeat all the evil powers of bloat, confusion and whacked motivations where ever they rear their ugly, fanged heads!

  10. As far as muses go, I'd say you took the cake on this one, you lucky thing.

    Good luck with revisions. Not fun, but you'll get through it, and in the end, you'll have a shiny manuscript begging to be sold.

  14. I've known D.C. was your muse. He's never done much for me, but I am reconsidering my position as I REALLY like that pic of him. I'm gonna grab a video and a bowl of popcorn and DC and I are gonna do a little bonding....

  15. You go Roxy. Revisions are slow going here. I'm still dwelling on my beginning--it's a long story. I will get there.
    good luck!
