Today I learned that I don’t know much about revision. What I’ve always considered “revision” is actually polishing. Actual revision involves things that horrify me, like starting over.
I learned that I can spend three hours working up a critique and still miss obvious things.
I learned that if you aren’t writing then you’re not writing (Unless you’re revising).
I learned that lack of sleep at Odyssey can begin to effect you on Day 2 (unless you were already affected on Day 1).
So much already learned on the first couple of days. Awesome!
Hey Brent,
I learned (or confirmed) that you’re a great guy and it’s a pleasure to experience Odyssey with you.
I also learned that even though we’re roomies and are going through the same process, it’s darned hard to find time to even have a long conversation or a reading session.
It’s everything we heard and more…
Heh Vern, you are one of the most energetic, positive people I’ve ever met and the pleasure is all mine.
And yeah, if your reading… you’re not writing.
