I have a rhythm now. \u00a0Get up, eat breakfast, go down stairs and revise. \u00a0Revising, I’m learning, is as much work as writing. \u00a0Harder in a way since it requires re-thinking, re-imagining. \u00a0But, more fun, too, since the whole can begin to weave back and forth, the end influencing the beginning. \u00a0Consistency problems ironed out. Larger themes both seen and reinforced.<\/p>\n
It’s a problem, this rhythm. \u00a0Mornings are my good time, the time my brain switches on, ready to plunge right in. \u00a0Afternoons, not so much so. \u00a0But still outside work needs to get done. \u00a0And I’d like to do Latin, too, in the afternoons. \u00a0Not all figured out.<\/p>\n
I’m making progress, a light touch on the content. \u00a0Correcting. \u00a0Amplifying. \u00a0Excising. \u00a0The end, I know, has to be stronger. \u00a0And, I’m considering putting a chunk of the end in the beginning. \u00a0Characters need fleshing out sometimes. \u00a0A habit or mannerism, perhaps.<\/p>\n
This is new for me. \u00a0It feels as if I’ve gone one more step on the ancientrail of creativity, of writing the long piece. \u00a0Feels good, too. \u00a0But, it’s surprisingly tiring.<\/p>\n
