Hey, looks like I've been Frankensteining for a few months now--it really works, plus I get to save all my moments of stunning, timelessly beautiful prose! All that's left is to zap new life into the monster, so I can yell, "It's alive!!!"

[@gintzudai2979]

Love this idea, Jess.😛 When everyone else is yelling "Rewrite EVERYTHING - don't copy and paste," you're the little voice of reason, saying "REBUILD that sucker in a new document, using all your good stuff from the first draft!" My panicky, lazy heart thanks you.❤

This is such a great idea! It's so hard for me to delete things from the current draft, even if I know they won't serve the story in the end. Thank you, Jessica!

Nice job.

[@patriciadanna7433]

Thanks! That's what I've started to do to revise a picture book manuscript I'm working on. I still am waiting for you to create a "Save the Cat Writes a Picture Book."

Oh gosh, that sounds horrible to me.
