Autumn is not a quiet time in this writer’s life. Homework.
One of the SIWC Master Classes, Welcome to Your Rewrite presented by Robert J Ray, is based on his book The Weekend Novelists Rewrites the Novel . He sent his prospective students homework! How neat is that? I have a better idea about class content, and suspect it will be three hours of aha moments.
The bit about weekends? He means doing nothing else … both Saturday and Sunday, minimum ten hours, dedicated writing labor. I am excited about this class. Having completed two manuscripts, I needed a method for revision. His book walks the writer through the process. Reading his book (not finished) and doing the homework provided a glimpse at the content of the class and I hope to come home, ready to tackle the big job of a rewrite, learning … always learning.
