Thank you! I have a novel I’m trying to re-envision now. Sounds like this book is one of the keys I need.

This book sounds like exactly what I need. Especially the section of knowing when to give up on a story. LOL Thanks for sharing it, Kitty. I’m going looking for it.

Laura, it’s only because of notes from my agent that I was able to change the story so radically the first time. It was terrifying! But like with so many things, after I’d done it once, it didn’t seem so scary after that. More like nervous fun!

Stormy and Shonna – yay! Glad to help! I think it’s out of print – at least it’s not available new from Amazon, but it’s available used.

Next week I’ll give you all some tips from Jim Bell’s book on revision.

Oh Kitty, thanks for recommending this book, I’m going to run out and get it. You’ve touched on my biggest fear – rewriting. I tend to think that once I write something, I can change the words, but the structure or plot? Way too scary…after all, who says I can do it again?

You’re braver than I. Maybe after reading the book I’ll have the guts…
