As I wrote in a recent post, I went to an author talk Saturday by Bette Bono. One thing Bette said that struck me was that she took stories she did for our class homework, but revised and improved them. It got me thinking that I wrote a few good stories in the classes I've been taking since 2018.
I've gone through ten folders of stories (from six to 10 depending on the length of the class.) I've picked 21 stories that are good enough to revisit, and I have six more folders to review.
Now I'm not saying these 21 stories are all publishable gems, but they are good first drafts. I was encouraged to find so many to revise.
