I will have piles upon piles of papers to grade every week. :) <BR/><BR/>I am glad that things are starting to turn around for you.

My style and process change book to book. Some books require TONS of passes. Utter rewrites. Toss thousands of words and backtrack. Others, truly just need one major pass to clean up the language and then a few notes need to be fixed to pick up dropped threads. I know Holly Lisle recommends a one-pass revision but that rarely works for me. There are too many layers and elements that I need to look at and I can't keep them all in my head at once along with the full vision of Story laid out like a map.Joely Sue Burkharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895058332587825648noreply@blogger.com
