Zitat des Tages über Überarbeiten / Revise:

There's no reason you shouldn't, as a writer, not be aware of the necessity to revise yourself constantly. John Irving

Every time we revise our history, we also revise the mythology of our history.

It's never too late - in fiction or in life - to revise.

Nancy Thayer

I revise constantly, as I go along and then again after I've finished a first draft. Few of my novels contain a single sentence that closely resembles the sentence I first set down. I just find that I have to keep zapping and zapping the English language until it starts to behave in some way that vaguely matches my intentions.

Michael Cunningham

I don't write a quick draft and then revise; instead, I work slowly page by page, revising and polishing.

Dean Koontz

I've found that in business opportunities will constantly emerge or situations develop that make you revise your plans along the way.

Benjamin Cohen

I guess the thing I would say most fervently is that your original impulse to write something is an impulse you should trust, and that if it doesn't work on the first draft, which it hardly ever does, the commitment to revising ought to be something you embrace really early. And to revise and revise and revise.

Antonya Nelson

I do not usually revise much, though I often cut, particularly the end or toward the end of a poem.

My sense of a poem - my notion of how you revise - is: you get yourself into a state where what you are intensely conscious of is not why you wrote it or how you wrote it, but what you wrote.

John J. Sirica

I always entertain the notion that I'm wrong, or that I'll have to revise my opinion. Most of the time that feels good; sometimes it really hurts and is embarrassing.

Anthony Bourdain

If you try to write 1,000 words a day, as I do, after 100 days you'll look up and have a book. It may be a mess, and you may have to revise it 50 times, but you can't revise it if you haven't written it.

Justin Cronin

I'm probably tougher on myself than I used to be. I'll revise my lyrics more. Part of that is working with the right people and producers who will say, 'How can you make that better?' Allowing yourself to collaborate with people will push you toward transcendence.

John Legend

I'm not a good writer. It takes me a long time to get there. I write and then rewrite and revise and do it over and over until I'm satisfied.

M. J. Rose
