I'm also fascinated in writers' memories and organizational techniques. <br /><br />This does seem very exciting indeed. You've clearly been working hard and making great progress!Ashley Ashbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05268928207063175136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387419236432646206.post-90585994224233816182010-08-17T22:40:48.302-05:002010-08-17T22:40:48.302-05:00hahaha, Lisa, I'm not entirely sure you should...hahaha, Lisa, I'm not entirely sure you should use me as an example for process! My books tend to be...sort of sprawling (kind people like my agent say ambitious, but then she gives me hints about outlining, lol!)--and it seems like it takes me way more tries than some other writers to get it right. I do a lot of writing that, in the end, gets edited out. Still, I am learning, and I am reasonably certain that each revision thus far has actually improved the book, so I guess it will have to be good enough until I get better. :)<br /><br />and cat, you do not even for a second need to feel guilty. your own edits are coming along beautifully; you're working in a much more graceful and lyrical way, I'm sure. all my color-coded cheat sheets are mainly because I'm too dumb to remember my brilliant ideas four seconds after I arrive at them! <3Elissa J.

Wow you are so thorough. And colourful.
H...Oh my!<br /><br />Wow you are so thorough. And colourful.<br /><br />Hahahaha just looking at that makes me feel guilty.<br /><br />Well done on working so hard on your revisions, darling.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure this book is going to be utterly fantastic and I CAN NOT wait to hold the real deal in my grubby mitts. :Dcathellisenhttp://cathellisen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387419236432646206.post-65055472934759691632010-08-17T15:33:46.069-05:002010-08-17T15:33:46.069-05:00Thank you for the glimpse into your process!

I have so far to go, but it felt great!<br /><br />This post makes me feel all happy-nervous. I can't wait to see your finished novel.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.com
