Matt Bell (@mdbell79) is here. Why? He’s got a great craft book out called Refuse to be Done: How to Write and Rewrite a Novel in Three Drafts.
What a great handbook to walk you through the generative pages and then the arduous task — the REAL work — of refining, rewriting, and revising.
This book will teach you patience.
This book will teach you perserverance.
This book will teach you the meaning of work.
Matt is the author of several novels like Appleseed, A Tree or a Person or a Wall, Scrapper, among others. We talk momentarily about his March Plaidness essay about the band Creed and their song “My Own Prison.” Great essay.
