the everyman memoirs
The official blog of author Tali Nay.
For the Long Weekend
Here is my weekend goal: to enter all the edits I've been scribbling on the manuscript into the computer and print out a new, clean draft.
Murder Your Darlings

I finished the Stephen King book, and I really enjoyed it. The beginning section could have been longer (I loved reading about his early writer-life and how it all came together for him...fascinating), but I really did appreciate the guts of the book, particularly the sections focused on revising.
Did I write THAT?
It's an interesting process, editing. And one I enjoy immensely. When first out of college I had it in my head that I might want to actually be an editor.
