Revision Process

by Lupe Fernandez

This is a page from my YA manuscript "Medicine Boy" that I revised. Looks easy, doesn't it?

  1. Thanks Tricia. Looks Neo Classical Post Modern Impressionistic Information Age with a dash of Gustave Dore.

  2. As long as you can read and understand what all the notes mean, that work of art will one day be a part of a finished YA manuscript.
    Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your revision.

  6. Are those tear smudges I detect a the top? And who took a bite out of the lower right corner? Hmm. If I were your manuscript, I don't think I'd be coming back for more of that treatment. And the worms make it look as if you pulled it out of the composting bin. Lupe! Your writing deserves more respect! I know. I've read it.

  8. Ha, ha regarding the respecting your writing. Fun post, but Rilla is right. Medicine Boy rocks! I'm glad you're still revising it.

  10. Lori - My colleagues at Pen & Ink read every agonizing word of Medicine Boy and write productive comments.

    Janet - I wanted to illuminated the craft side of writing as oppose to the illicit carnal activites associate with the glamorous writer life-style.
