Edit again, Read the past and with red lines cut the errors. In between words more than empty white lies and when the bleeding is finally done, the clots of thought Have hardened, The words are all That is left Still tender on the page |

Cpat Hair, editing is like surgery. What to remove what to leave, lately I have been butchering some old poems, deleting whole sections but to quote someone, name I can't remember right now. "A poem is never finished it is only abandoned." enjoyed the read "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

[quote] and when the bleeding is finally done, the clots of thought Have hardened, The words are all That is left Still tender on the page {/quote] hehe... EXCELLENT!!! yeah!! blue pencil it... before it gets printed into forever or something or other, i'm trying to say... you said it much better in so many fewer words... and like i've always said, editing is everything... sorta like vacuuming and dusting.... sometimes it's like something that needs to be done every day and other times, i'll do it a couple times a month whether it needs it or not... rofl!!!!!!@myself thanks for the read... enjoyed much!! |
