Write Fast. Revise Slow.
How to use a post-mortem, ‘autopsy’ approach to improve long works. (Hint: You need something to dissect first.)
Like many writers, I wear many hats.
Sure, I’m a wife, mother, daughter, and sister, but I’m also a chef, handyman, laundress, and housekeeper (although I’m not very good at the latter).
But what I’m thinking about here are my interests, my hobbies, and my jobs.
For 23 years, I’ve been a graphic designer, grant writer, website content creator, photographer, and cheerleader for The Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra, a regional nonprofit dedicated to LIVE music performances.
At first, my ‘work’ was voluntary and unpaid.
As the organization grew and gained a firmer financial foundation, I became the .5 of the official 1.5 full-time employees.
One of my regular jobs is writing e-newsletters to promote upcoming concerts and prompt members to donate.
Just last night, I sent this headline —
“This is what you’ll HERE!”
Your true friends are the ones who will tell you when you have spinach in your teeth or a bugger in your nose.
