“By the time I am nearing the end of a story, the first part will have been reread and altered and corrected at least one hundred and fifty times. I am suspicious of both facility and speed. Good writing is essentially rewriting. I am positive of this.” – Roald Dahl
This. To hear one of my most favorite writers say this means the world to me. Seriously, as writers, what you share with other writers makes all the difference in the world. If it were not for the work writers left behind, I would have quit writing years ago. Well, who knows, really? The evolution of the entire world rests in the hands of writers. I can’t think of a world without it. Anyway, writing is rewriting, and that’s a fact. It’s a whole lifestyle.
How’s your writing going?! Inspire me!
