Revision

  • Apr. 4th, 2009 at 1:13 PM

Okay, my mom is getting on my case about not getting my revision done that I need to send back to Whitman. I told her I'd do it today or at least get started on it. I can usually revise pretty easily. But I'm having a very hard time how to make my cowboyish story have more of a Texas feel and on to make it read more like a folk tale. Someone refresh me on what makes a story more fairy-tale like. I'm not a dunce, but this is difficult. Might revise it four different ways to see what reads best.

Talk to you later,
Brian

Hmm...since I didn't see the original, this is a little hard.

A folktale voice from Texas may need a big Texas "voice" for the narrator. I'd suggest reading TONS of folktales that are out there now and picking up books from people like Susan Stevens Crummel and Tammi Sauer. You may want to think, "Paul Bunyan", for something like this. Large and loud! That's Texas! :-)

Thanks Pam. I'm working on it now. May go at it two different ways and see which is best, maybe more if those don't work.

I definitely could use your prayers.
