"You know it’s finished when you can’t do anything more to it.” – James Baldwin-- À La Carte

The real writing begins after the first draft. It’s tempting to get into line revisions right away, but such work will be wasted if you haven’t moved your characters through time. Pace your scenes. In every draft, distil. Do not mourn what you leave behind. Revision is a practice, and we are apprentices. Enjoy the work. In this class, you will learn how to chart and calibrate the emotional load on scenes so epiphanies feel earned. Bring your laptop or notebook.
