Such GREAT advice!! Students resist revision instead of embracing it!

[Katherine Applegate (kaaauthor.bsky.social) @kaaauthor]

I often hear from young writers looking for advice. Here's something it took me a while to learn: I never write anything good on the first try. For me, it's all about persistence—writing something lousy, knowing it's lousy, and slowly fixing it. Writing *is* rewriting. Chins up!
