we should collaborate...your pix, my "prose"; your pix & prose, my copyediting...whatever... great article for prolly 5-6 magazines.... by now you have seen some of my work on da web, yes? ------------------------------------------------ Me book? hmmm, you two ever tried to write one? It's alot more difficult than I thought..It's a creative fiction based on many factual events..Then I let my imagination soar...
Disipline is a problem, thus is the amateur, or is it..
Editing later is the way to go,right? Do writers keep it all? then edit?
copyedited lottsa books...mostly college texts, but have helped on fiction, too...
yes, editing later...the *cliche* is "writing is rewriting."
another famous one? "writing is easy--you just open a vein and bleed." lol...
yup to the discipline...target so many words per day and hit around that, no matter what... keep going. Get it down, first.
Then when you feel story is over...???
time to review... a pro may need only a line edit, then a copyedit... amateur may easily need much deletion, *some* revisions before being ready for a line edit...
regardless...cuz you can't know in advance...the major thing is "get it down," the whole story that you "intend*

Oh gosh, do I ever understand your comment.
I took some journalism classes at a junior college. Kinda fun. Not much funding for the college. Classes were held in old homes alongside the college, homes bought by the city and given to the college.
Instructor gave me ok grades but always added,
"Your article would never be published. Tone it down."
Ha!
I switched over to taking classes at a remote campus located on a military base. Military Police at the main entrance always gave me a hard time, "Your name is Okpulot Taha? What kind of name is that?" Sometimes they would allow me on base, sometimes not.
I was driving our old one ton rust bucket then. One MP told me our truck was too dangerous to allow on base. Something about one headlight pointing up, the other, pointing down.
I told him I would turn off my headlights so none would become confused. He instructed me to turn around and leave.
After that, I decided to try some English classes. Boy, what an adventure that turned out to be.

Not exactly what I had in mind. Was thinking more like you in shorts, hand shovel, tank top, planting some bulbs. Knowing you a little better now, be more more like you nekkid driving a combination backhoe, dozer or crane. Either is jus fine wit me:) Have to see any manyana though, as my blankee and bed is a callin.
