About Me
- JBarWriter
- I belong to this fantastic writer’s group called Sweet Hearts of the Rodeo and the group can be found at Writers University, which I have been a lifelong member since the late 90’s. This is an intense study group that involves the reading and discussion of short stories as well as articles and books on craft. It is not for beginners. The focus is on literary and mainstream short stories, and the work requires a commitment of many hours a week. Word count is 1,500 to 6,500.

Marley & Me: Love and Life with the World's Worst Dog by John GroganMy review
A delightful read, filled with love and humor.View all my reviews.
Hi JB,
ReplyDeleteVery helpful article. It's especially pertinent to my issues of late. I've been trying to work on not overthinking things, but hey, you try three revisions of 5-6,000 words and see if you're brain doesn't kick into over thinking. lol
Great read. I needed it this morning. Oh well, back to work. Revision, of course. "Fairy Wars" has gone from 7,000 words to 4093. Gotta chop about another 5oo to make room for a scene.
Hope you are writing!
Raven
Hi Raven,
ReplyDeleteI try to eliminate all distractions, and then my mind begins to wonder...oh yeah, what were we talking about overthinking wasn't it, don't have any problems with that. It's keeping what I do think about sorted out and in its proper place.
Chopping away at a scene that one has written is like cutting the finger off at the tip, but necessary, metaphorically. What worries me is chopping off to much... LOL
