Part of ...Merry Christmas to you as well, Unknown.<br /><br />Part of my revision process is seeing where I need to expand. Perhaps I put in place the dialogue for a scene, but didn't fully set the scene. Or my rereading reveals to me a spot where some grace notes, touching on some earlier motif or better setting up something that's to come, are needed. There are also those aforementioned unsolved problems that I left for my future self, such as how exactly some event should unfold or how much someone should say about something. In my earlier uncertainty, I just leave a space or write a series of sentence fragments or paraphrase some possibilities. There should be some trims ahead, as uncertainty about approach in some scenes led me to try something from several angles and leave all of those approaches in place.William Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07896164917625191919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455307395670672432.post-80518026489530810792011-12-22T19:30:35.066-05:002011-12-22T19:30:35.066-05:00Merry Christmas.
