When Shelley Pearsall came to Woodbury to talk about writing, she brought a stack of papers *LITERALLY* eight feet high. All the drafts that she generated in the production of ONE of her books. It was an amazing illustration of both how hard writing can be, but also how satisfying it can be to keep working until it really feels done.

Keep on keeping on Abby. Looks good from here 😘
Thank you for sharing this anecdote, Amy! It’s really helpful to keep in mind!! <3
As someone considering tossing much of a manuscript...thank you for your service.
Sometimes, success is starting over!!! 🥲🫡
I hope you love Book Two (part two) more than you loved Book Two (part one)!
Always save your material, too. I'm sure you know that, fellow writer. =)
Thank you!!! Part One will find its home sometime, somewhere :) I really appreciate you reaching out!
I know I've talked to you during the past few months but now when I read your account I'm a wreck!!!!!
:’) It all turns out OK, though!
