Make It New Materials

The trouble with the Sierra Wave is eventually, the pilot must come down. And, as you've surely heard, the flying isn't the hard part; it's the landing.

My work in revision is to make pathways to that pulse.

But revision is just as much about being comfortable in the labyrinth as it is trying to bulldoze through the walls.

Generative revision happens before editing. It's a process of fanning the flames of what's working in your piece, of tossing in stones and following the ripple effects.
