I liked the opening to the first version - very Dylan Thomas - and was scratching my head at the second one, and then you went to third (much better), and then fourth (even better), where you scratched all you'd built up, and then finally a pitch-perfect scene right out of Degas.<br /><br />Many thanks. And did you do such complete rewrites of the whole book, or just the opening chapters?Steve MChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026970188928733645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873969267913482457.post-48411799682960363342012-01-25T23:53:13.464-08:002012-01-25T23:53:13.464-08:00It was radical IMO too!

The opening chapter of my novel (which still languishes on my computer) didn't change a huge amount in the six fresh drafts that I wrote, but it was about the only thing that stayed the same!Miriam Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516402325473855925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4873969267913482457.post-55864049894368078542012-01-23T13:33:40.396-08:002012-01-23T13:33:40.396-08:00This is a wonderful insight into your revision pro...This is a wonderful insight into your revision process. To see why and how changes are made help new writers to see where or what might need to be rethought in their own pieces. And by showing several of your revisions you go into more depth than Maggie Stiefvater or Kimberly Derting who both have done the same type of post on their blogs. <br /><br />You mention your revisions come from critique groups and agent feedback. How did you find your critique group? That is a question I’ve always wanted to know.
