I'm A Failed Writer #1: Revisions

Here is the first episode in a video series called “I am a failed writer”. This episode focuses on the revision process. I discuss my failures as well as my (???) successes.

Oh. Here are some of the books by Jim Krusoe: Iceland(2002, Dalkey Archive Press), Girl Factory(2008, Tin House), Erased(2009, Tin House), Toward You(2011, Tin House).

Even though I credit Jim Krusoe for opening up this new draft/revision for me, there are other friends and mentors who have helped me see this particular project in a fresh light. To keep the video from getting too long, I didn’t mention any of these other people. I’m sorry about that. Here are some of the fabulous people (in alphabetic order, to avoid having to think of a less arbitrary order): Alistair McCartney, Cheryl Strayed, Ellen Urbani, Jason Sandefur, Joanna Rose, Kate Maruyama, Leonard Chang, Liz Prato, Merilee Karr, Sheri Blue, Stevan Allred, Tracy Burkholder.

Okay. That’s it for now. Thanks. Good luck with your revision work...
