[stylist] The Writing Process

[Judith Bron]

Joe, Yesterday I went back to a novel that I started some ten years ago. 
Outside of the grammer being horrendous the plot is pretty good.  I rewrote 
the first chapter giving it more teeth.  I'm working through the 700 plus 
page book.  This one is a goody!  Give yourself time.  The original first 
chapter of my book is somewhere in ciber space.  I hope they don't arrest me 
for polluting something we can't see.  You'll get it!  Good luck, Judith
