Writers are no stranger to hoarding pages and pages of old writing, throw away lines, brainstorming moments, scribble, and scratch. I finally decided to do a bit of 'Spring cleaning' only to find about a dozen tomes (some full, some not) of such writing. … Continue reading Behind the Scenes: A Writer’s Spring Cleaning
