Revision Is the Whole Game with N. West Moss
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Debut middle-grade novelist N. West Moss says revision is the whole game. She talks about discovery drafts, middle drafts where she tries to accomplish goals, and then polishing drafts. She also talks about winning at writing every day not by putting a certain number of words on the page but by doing anything related to writing such as reading books, editing a section, or simply thinking about her characters. Finally, we talk about how compassion is key in the classroom and gratitude is the key to life.
