Merry Monday! It’s time for this week writing quote – and, as always, it’s a good one:

Good stories are not written. They are rewritten.

(Phyllis Whitney)

How are you at editing? I know I find it one of the hardest bits of the job. The story flows out of me during the first draft – but when I’m finished the hard slog starts. But it’s the editing that turns a story into a manuscript – and that makes the difference between it staying an unpublished manuscript or being snapped up by a publishing house and becoming a book.

Have a great week.
