Oh, you don't think beagles are dogs of war? You've not owned one. Living with a beagle is a negotiated truce. Living with a small pack is capitulation.
Warning: no beagle is ever housebroken. They merely choose to abide by your suggestion for their natural needs until you anger them through some slight (perhaps the beagle flag on the negotiating table is a tad smaller than your personal flag, for example) - in which case they do not acquiesce to you suggestion. Stand advised.
So, we have here the blog for a group of writers trying to hone their product for consumption. We've all talked extensively about the gap between "draft" and "ready to go" and we're trying to bridge that gap with our materials for one another.
We're a bit like a pack at the moment. We're working on the scent of developing those habits in revision and polishing that consistently let us create content for consumption. Hopefully, when we get our mechanics down pat we'll be stretching our literary chops in storytelling more than in the mechanics of storytelling.
So, we're here. We'll be addressing some of the important items to us in this forum so that others might learn from our efforts and trials. It's not possible to learn to write for consumption by reading about it. There are however lessons that help.
Watch us on the scent. You can follow us through the tall grass by the wagging of the white tips of tails. Some of us might bay. That's optional.
Have a coffee and enjoy.
