It seems that most of the people on this board would consider themselves - writers. I even have an understanding of what Art, Beauty, and the Ideal is. I also have a navel.
Revision is the soul of writing.
Dammit, telling a story is the most natural thing anyone can do, and the least natural. From the first time you told your mother what the other kid in the playground did, asked for the jello in the refrigerator, or planned an assault up the drawers, across the counter top, and into the cookies - you have been telling stories. Someone asked him which foot he started on - the poor bug is still standing there, trying to do consciously what used to be an effortless waddle. Worse, trying to turn that fantasy into action on your part is likely to result in a comedy, at best. Stop to think about it, and that fastball is in the catcher's glove.
