While TadMack’s been lost in the throes of a sinus infection, I’ve been buried in a vast and deep slough of my own making: a major revision of one of my novel manuscripts, which I’d really like to get done in the next few weeks and send back out. I might even send the first chapter in during Firebrand Literary Agency’s query holiday, if I really get off my duff.
In doing a quick and frantic online search for revision help, how-to’s, hints, etc., I came across a page on author Holly Lisle’s website with an interesting method for what she calls “one-pass revision”–doing it all in one fell swoop. Although it’s far too late for me to be calling it “one-pass”, since this is the third or fourth actual draft, it’s never too late to make use of some of the ideas she brings up. So far, so good–I’ll let you know how it goes!
