Yesterday was editing.
Today was more editing.
I didn't get to do quite as much as I had hoped, but I'm onto my 3rd draft.
Draft 1: 971 words
Draft 2: 814 words
Draft 3: 705 words.
Aiming for about 600, but it's getting harder now, and i still have a few things to add.
I was thinking how writing and painting are opposites. With painting I really enjoy putting on finishing touches, but with writing I struggle with the details, the honing - trying to find the right words to say something more succinctly, powerfully. The thesaurus and I share many cups of tea. It's been a fun process though, and I think it's shaping up... I hope!
