Great questions...Excellent, interesting interview! Great questions and answers! Thanks for the tip on how to squeeze writing into a teaching schedule. That may work better for me! I have been waiting for summer to swing around for a LONG time, and always complain that I never have time to revise. (I'm in great need of a good night's sleep!) Is it possible to OVER-write and then never revise? The magic formula may be: Write lots in summer, but revise little bits all the time! Thanks for the inspiration, Lori! I'm going to try it your way!!! You are amazing all around!
