Revision Techniques at Project MG Mayhem

The contest you may have seen me discussing recently on Facebook will be coming up soon, but for now, I'm over at Project Mayhem, discussing a revision technique I use.

Quotes Week, Part Three

To consider when revising:

• Sit down, and put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it. ~Colette, Casual Chance, 1964

On plotting:

• A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order. ~Jean Luc Godard

On everything:

• An author in his book must be like God in the universe, present everywhere and visible nowhere. ~Gustave Flaubert
