I have decided to re-write my unfinished novel "A Wonkle Journey". It will be a long road of headaches and determination but I believe that I can make it work. I have already started by editing what I have so far and I have written a rough copy of the first page or so of the story. I hope to have this completed by the end of the school year or sooner. Any ideas or suggestions on how to make this easier or what to do would be much appreciated. (Don't hesitate to check out my blog "Behind The Wall..." and comment on those entries either). Thanks a bunches!
Here's a suggestion that helps me with runthrough editing. If you get bored with what you're editing, change it!! If you're bored by your writing, your readers will be too.
Yay! I'm so glad you're sticking to it! I'm working on editing one of my books too. . . but I have so many others that I want to work on and editing is so BORING! So I haven't really gotten to it yet.
Professional writers are always going through the process of writing and re-writing. Don't be afraid to make major changes. Don't keep a character or situation that isn't a perfect fit simply because you're attached. Understand that this is a process everybody goes through. It is tedious, but you can do it! Keep us posted.
We are a group of 8th and 9th grade students (plus two advisors) from a middle school in Utah. Our club meets every other week to write and share our writing with others. This blog is a place for us to post bits and pieces of the stories and novels we have in the works. We are hoping for good, specific feedback in our efforts to improve our writing. We love comments, but please remember our tender ages (except for the old-lady advisors). We are looking for suggestions, but we hope you'll stay positive in your comments.
Please do not plagiarize! We have worked hard on our ideas, characters, plots, conflicts, literary devices, etc. The writing published here belongs to the individual who wrote it. Please do not steal from us!
