I bought a bottle of champagne part-way through writing the first draft of my book last year. So far, I've finished my first draft, I've finished three very serious edits, I've finished and sent it off to peers to read, and I've finished editing again. Have I opened that bottle of champagne?
A stronghold and lookout tower. As I stood gazing from below, my imagination roamed over story after story that I created for such a place.Â
As I'm editing, and also as I'm getting feedback from others, I've noticed three words that getting rid of significantly improves my writing. Here they are.
Getting back into the grind of writing is difficult for me when I've traveled somewhere that has put my emotional headspace to different use.
An exhibit on expression.Â
