Writers must be careful when approaching their unedited manuscript.
They must be smart. They must be considerate of trivialities, open to
differing views, confident in purpose but soft as to means.
In short, they must be everything the Europeans were not when “conquering”
the Americas.
While the wild, unedited, jungle version of your novel might at first
glance beg for civilizing, tread softly. There is much to be learned from
worlds unhampered by our silly norms.
Until tomorrow…

Post Note / Explanation: Armed with machete, musket and grim
determination, I was fully prepared to invade Chapter Four of The Hushing Days
when I began to notice some truly beautiful things had grown from the
under-structured mess. Sure, there was a lot of crap to hack through (crap is
crap no matter the civilization), but there were also untapped themes to be
learned, surprising character traits to meet and greet, and fresh loves to be
found… Hence, this post and its wee-bit of quirkiness.
