"The work you're writing is worth your attention and it really is in revision that you're going to find something meaningful and useful"
-Antonya Nelson
This is a project that aims to explore the art of revision by writing fifty drafts of the same short story. Each version is written with a single objective in mind. These objectives will focus on a single element of storytelling, whether that be specific character exercises, experimentation with plot, use of poetic devices, etc.
My hope is that this exercise will help me grow as a writer and provide useful ideas and resources to those looking to take their writing and editing to the next level

Fun Facts (Random Chapter Topics)
This book is about things I like to do. I get a ton of surprises at home, and especially on my birthday. This is more than that just an about me book. If someone gives you a problematic remark about your stories that you think is more judgemental per say rather than constructive critique feel free to tag me ask me to check your story, and I will decide if they were right or they were wrong and you and other peers like you can embrace me with those stories because since my 6th grade English class None of my stories were given permission by me to be put up on Spotify playlist at all. This should never be on Spotify it is a personal book of randomness._Lumna10Complete
