“I always write too long in the beginning, then it is a matter of going through it over and over again on subsequent drafts, looking for anything that slows down the narrative. It can be hard, cutting out parts I love, but I try to make the book as tight as possible so that the reader doesn't get bored.” WritingTryingLongBookMatterHardCuttingReaderNarrativeBoredSlow Down Author:Chevy Stevens
