But I agree, listening to the tempo and rhythm of the spoken word helps me write and really gets me into the story.

While I'm waiting for the office to open, I'm reading a book, too. I love fantasy stories above anything because they take me to awesome new worlds:)<br />Nutschell<br />www.thewritingnut.comnutschellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967710710805174781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-15591737058271079562012-06-26T14:15:41.947-07:002012-06-26T14:15:41.947-07:00Judy, you are so right about the lightning and the...Judy, you are so right about the lightning and the lightning bug. I'm having to learn that. I do get there, eventually, but have to wrestle my psyche down and hog tie her before I get there. Some ADD thing in me. I'm taking a speed reading class to help with that, because I really think it is a learning disability.<br /><br />You have something in common with Diana Gabaldon (and Julia Barrett above, because she and I have talked about this). Diana Gabaldon LOVES the editing because she says it "polishes all the jewels" in the story.Sharon Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733653906932403080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-35479508282480827242012-06-26T14:13:22.251-07:002012-06-26T14:13:22.251-07:00Love that vision: editor's hat super-glued to ...Love that vision: editor's hat super-glued to your hair.

I subscribe to some photo sites that post things. Sometimes even ads give me good things. Like travel sites and ads. Anywhere! <br /><br />And occasionally, I (yes my dear, Moi) take a good photo or two. Now that's rare...<br /><br />Best compliment I can get from an editor is they forgot they were editing. Then I know I got there, for at least part of the book.Sharon Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09733653906932403080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-86801612029396637362012-06-26T11:05:37.889-07:002012-06-26T11:05:37.889-07:00Love those pictures.

The initial writing is getting the general story down. The editing is enriching and making it better. Editing is about finding the right word. In the words of Mark Twain: "The difference the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug."Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07843239483061220089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-4247169185909477442012-06-26T10:47:12.270-07:002012-06-26T10:47:12.270-07:00Same here, need to remember to remove the editor h...Same here, need to remember to remove the editor hat when I read for pleasure. Someone super-glued it to my hair though. :( lol. Though I think a really great book is one that doesn't turn on the editor hat to begin with. *wink*J.D.
