How to rewrite. I get a lot of beginning writers asking me how to rewrite.
This post is aimed squarely at them: the ones who are unsure how to fix a story they have written from beginning to end. Which is my way of saying that any experienced writer is going to find what I am about to say obvious, boring, and un-useful. You folks should go read Samuel R. Delany’s About Writing or, you know, get back to work. EditMinion. Murder Your Darlings.
