1. Dead Robots’ Society Episode 113 – The Plot Is The Thing – My take away from this was: Revision is writing. It seemed like the pantsers and the plotters both needed to “catch-up” on the other half of the character/plot equation during the revision stage. In fact, at this point, I think it has been said often enough that I am beginning to wonder just how much of writing can be reduced to these type of truisms?
