   Greetings:   
      
   Back in the late 1990’s I followed the internet newsgroup “r   
   c.arts.sf.composition.”   
      
   Patricia Wrede, the famous Fantasy author dropped in from time to time, gave   
   us novice writers the benefit of her experience.   
      
   I vowed then that if I ever became published I’d follow her example.   
      
   So, here goes.    
      
   Most anyone can write a story.   
      
   The trick is in the rewriting.   
      
   In this era of computer text editors we no longer need  formal rewrites. We   
   should use what is called “Rolling Rewrites.”   
      
   In the old daze, rewriting on typewriters meant changes in paper, so rewriting   
   was a bit of a hassle.    
      
   In today’s world, every time we work on something we should do what   
   Hemingway did.  In his book “By-line” by Ernest Hemingway” he advises   
   writers begin their writing session by going back maybe three chapters or so   
   of their current work, reread    
   what they’ve previously written, making necessary changes.   
      
   Old Ernest was a bit of a workaholic. He didn’t mind changing paper to   
   accomplish his goals.   
      
   Needless to say, we’ve got things much easier.   
      
   NAMASTE
