Free Writing on “The Makers Eye : Revising your own manuscript
“To them a page is never finished” I found this quote kind of funny after trying to finish my essay last night, I think I went over that thing a 100 times last night changing words and re doing sentences. Actually I even completely started it over once. Ray Brad bury puts his script a way for a year and reads it again as a stranger. I find that bizarre, but yet again very interesting. I guess he has wrote so many books he can do that, and since he has been doing it so long probably has several to go back over
and read. “How much information is enough” I was asking myself this same question while writing my essay. I don't wan to much where it gets boring, but I want enough to state my point. I have learned from the class to read my stuff out loud and re read, but I had never thought of acting as I'm the audience not the writer. “Writers edit, shifting back and forth from eye to page to ear to page.” I going to have to learn to do this. I so loved the last paragraph of this “ A piece of writing is never finished, it is delivered to a deadline, torn out of a typewriter on demand sent off with a sense of accomplishment and shame and pride and frustration. If only there were a couple of more days, time for just another run at it, perhaps then...... “ I understand the frustration part of this, I was so frustrated with my essay before I finally turned it in last night, I'm still not completely happy with it, but I'm ready to get someones else opinion on it and see if they can add any light to my writing.
