this is such a handy revision sheet. Thanks Meg
I'm going to make a dummy. . .I tend to want to skip that step. Thanks for the inspiration Meg!
This sheet is tacked to my wall! I tend to gravitate toward #13 on the weekends (LOL) Today I need to dummy yesterday's brainstorm to see if it holds water or is a washout.
Love this sheet. After church, I hope to dive in.
must print it out !
Awesome poster, Meg! Definitely one to print and hang around my neck, so every time I look in the mirror, I'll see it.:) Today I'll be reading my newly revised from rhyme to prose story out loud at least 25 times...if I still love it, maybe it is good.:)
I absolutely, POSITIVELY need to do a dummy. Been thinking about it. Wondering if the PB I was working on yesterday will "fit." And there it is, RIGHT at the top of the list! Off to Tara Lazar's blog, where I'm PRETTY sure I remember a guide to doing one of these.
Thanks, Meg!!
Did you find it Joanne? That's an excellent post! There's also a dummy chapter in Writing Picture Books, by Ann Whitford Paul. I really need to do some more. Ann makes a great case for them! :D
LOL! That's where I need this sheet too Vivian. :D Wow, that is a tough test! Hope you still love it in the end!
Yay! :D
I'm filing then I need to dive in. >_< Happy revising! :D
#13 is awesome! We should probably do that one today as well. For writing inspiration and to air out from hanging out inside all these cold days! :D Happy revising!
That's my hope for today too Lisa! :D Happy revising!!!
So welcome! Enjoy enjoy!!!
I did find it, Meg. Thanks! It was great - and incredibly helpful. Totally opened my eyes to where the structure of my book needs to be altered a bit.
Wonderful helps, Meg! I loved the sheet! I revised two manuscripts. I think the hardest part is cutting the wordage, but I did that too, and I think it helped make my story much clearer. I love ReviMo! The only problem is (and it isn't really a problem) I don't want to stop revising:)
I remember this poster from the last time. It's a great idea and well worth sharing and using!!
I love this inspiration sheet! Thanks for sharing it again. I didn't get over here yesterday...unexpected out-of-town company. But it's great to see your post this morning. I have revisions on my schedule for this week on a couple of manuscripts and this will come in handy :-)
Thanks so much for sharing your poster with us. Just changed the POV and new MC is bigger and funnier - what a fab exercise to find the weak spots in one's choice!
Sorry to be late posting this... I have been working on trying to get everything
transferred from my old computer my honkingly fast new one so revisions have
been spotty to say the least, but I finally finished last evening around 11:00
and finished revising one of my manuscripts a little before midnight. I did #2,
#9 and finally #11
Hi Meg,
I just put up a blog post from one of my revisions. I took a book I semi-published almost ten years ago and cut out 1200+ words. In the post, I go into detail how I trimmed a text heavy first page to a ten word sentence. Thanks, I found revimo very helpful.
