Episode 40: Is this Done Yet? Revisions and How to Know When to Stop
We've inherited our faith in revision from the Modernists, but there really is such a thing as too much rewriting. In this final episode of the Quarantine Quill, we look at how writing workshops are designed to keep suggesting revisions, and why it's important to know when to walk away.
Mentioned in this episode: Hilma Wolitzer, The Company of Writers: Fiction Workshops and Thoughts on the Writing Life (2001); Hannah Sullivan, The Work of Revision (2013); Lydia Davis, "Revising One Sentence" in Essays: One (2019).
Music: Carole Cassier.
The Quarantine Quill is a creative writing podcast hosted by Anna Polonyi with the Paris Institute for Critical Thinking. The podcast will be bringing you a daily writing tip and prompt for as long as PICT's creative writing events are on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic.
