Worth reading,
This review is from: A Piece Of Work: Five Writers Discuss Their Revisions (Paperback)
Revising is the key to good writing, at least it is for me. This book is an attempt to trace how several reknowned authors make revisions on their own work. The lesson I took away from the book was that authors rewrite many, many times and work through a highly individualized process to discover a process that works. That is a worthwhile message, and I did leave the book with some ideas to try. Unfortunately, the book is quite uneven in that not every author seemed particularly willing to share their process. For instance, I left the section with Joyce Carol Oates wondering why Woodruff bothered included it; plainly, getting information from her was tantamount to pulling teeth and the result is superficial. |
