The Perfect Manuscript
There’s no such thing.
There’s only a good story backed up by good writing.
No one ever wrote and rewrote a novel 100 or more times and had it turn out very well. In reality, it was probably chipped away at so much, it didn’t resemble anything near the writer’s original story much less his or her intent.
In writing school, they teach you to rewrite and rewrite and rewrite until the process becomes torture. Meanwhile, the professors, who can’t make a living at being professional writers themselves (believe me, if they could, they would), go back to their rooms and have a good laugh at the student’s expense.
“Serves them right,” the writing prof says aloud while pouring a couple of fingers of whiskey. “I’ve had to earn a living looking at cruddy student manuscripts all my life. Why shouldn’t they?”
Don’t think there’s truth to this? I’ve seen it in action. Lot’s of these same writing professors won’t have anything to do with me because, guess what? I make a good living as a professional writer. And what really burns them up?
I’ve never had to teach a single course in my life.
Be a writer who writes a good, clean, first drafts and get your work out to market.
Be a professional writer or be a teacher.
