During the past two weeks, I’ve been participating in an on-line course titled: “Revising Without Getting Sick of Your Manuscript” by Sylvie Kurtz. The lessons were provided daily via both email and the Yahoo Group website. Each day brought a different aspect of writing fiction:
8-20 – 1. Introduction
8-21 – 2. General Outlook
8-22 – 3. Plot and Structure
8-23 – 4. Point of View
8-24 – 5. Scenes
8-25 – 6. Characters
8-27 – 7. Dialogue
8-28 – 8. Backstory
8-29 – 9. Opening and Endings
8-30 – 10. Voice, Style, and Details
8-31 – 11. Conclusion
Sylvie is a fount of knowledge for each topic and provided examples to illustrate the point of each lesson. Her explanations and guidelines were easy to understand. But the best part of it all was her feedback! With her guidance, I now own a respectable pitch that I can send off to agents and publishers.
If you ever have the opportunity to take a course with Sylvie, I highly recommend that you do!

That sounds like just what I need. I dread diving in for revisions but I know I need to. I will have to check it out!
Hi Debi, I hope you don’t mind, I tagged you for the WIP Challenge. I would love to hear about your latest book!
I don’t mind at all… what would you like to know?
