Harvest Moon Rising for the Writer

LATE HARVEST MOON for writing

i'm hoping that the stable-enough work and the stable-enough life will give me some opportunity to print out one manuscript at a time onto real paper, and then just spend an hour here and there 'removing stuff' from it/them...not adding or expanding stories etc at all. There has been enough wild warm frenetic creativity with That totally unregulated 'hit & miss' part of the Mind...and now what is needed is some appropriate cool destruction. Much like approaching each page as a grim reaper...or a Tony Abbott.

these manuscripts are my 'intellectual property' in the world...mostly like small farms of idea and emotion and plot crops. They have quite gone wild and to seed in most cases and they do need a Late Harvest. What remains after this 'threshing' is, as they say, grist for the mill.
