Yesterday’s post was in desperation. The work I was reading was good.
By about the End of the Beginning (1/4), I found the plot working, the character believable though not completely likable, the issues of value.
I wanted it to be great.
Continued reading to the end today. Things picked up shortly before the Halfway mark. The heart and soul of the work emerged. I shed tears. I really cared.
Made me a believer again.
Cautiously though….
Work needs to be done. More authentic details. Entire first quarter reworked. Character deepened. More foreshadowing. Smoother flow. Interconnecting thematic significance on all levels.
Can’t help but wonder — how many times will he rewrite his piece to make it truly memorable???
How many times do you rewrite a piece from beginning to end in an effort to make it truly memorable??
