We’re over at Zoe’s blog for the last part of our discussion of James Scott Bell’s Revision and Self-Editing for Publication. Tune in next week to see how I handle working through a book on outlining.
The Three Dirty Birds are chatting about James Scott Bell’s Revision and self-Editing for Publication. We’re down to the end of it now, with just his Revision Checklist to go through. (And, by the way, he has a downloadable version of this checklist at Writer’s Digest, if you want to check it out.) Kate:...
We’re over at Ana’s blog, talking about what we do after we’ve finished our first draft, and what James Scott Bell recommends.

Plotting and structuring over on Ana’s blog. I’m really liking this book. 🙂
Three Dirty Birds are talking Character today with James Scott Bell’s Revision and Self-Editing for Publication (2e). Kate: So much wonderful in this chapter, it’s definitely not a skimmer. There’s stuff in this chapter that I’m definitely going to apply (if the day job ever calms down enough to let me write again). Ana:...
