Bet the Over

Last month, I blogged about how long it takes to write a story (Four Hours, Forty Days, or Forever).

If you're a betting type, and the line was 40 days, I hope you took the Over.

Two different writing groups have now seen two different versions of the Batman story in question, and there is definitely going to be at least one more substantial rewrite before it's ready to be viewed by anyone else.

Ron MacLean has described the process of writing as following a spiral, where in each draft you circle in a little closer to your story's core, your speed increasing with every rotation.

Stay on target, and eventually you'll get there. Or so I keep telling myself.

Thanks for reading,

Stephen
