And another thing to improve the 'tone' of the tale. Using occupational words sounds kinda hard with the medieval romances I write... I'll have to give it a try though.

I thought it was a great way to think about adding to a story and giving yourself permission to just let go.<br /><br />Mary, congrats on the revision work. <br /><br />You're welcome Autumn. I love when I learn something new that can enhance my writing and I think both the riffing and the lexicon will.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-5607087170367231132010-10-18T15:23:32.997-07:002010-10-18T15:23:32.997-07:00Great example of riffing, Paty.

The lexicon, etc ...<br /><br />If I cut 1,000 words, it may get published. :D 600 more to go - I'm about 1/2 way.<br /><br />I learned to edit a few things and felt freed to put more of me back into places.<br /><br />I'm hoping these new tweaks make my stories irresistable.M Paxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096697282530998519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-58362292905167046562010-10-18T11:30:01.395-07:002010-10-18T11:30:01.395-07:00Wow, I hadn't heard of riffing in these terms....Wow, I hadn't heard of riffing in these terms.
