Though often when I write something, particularly if it is poetry, I leave the rough manuscript for some weeks then go back to it. I often find that I can improve it.

That is when you have proof read it yourself and when friends also proof read When all this is done you know you have just made something unique. Every writer is an artist in his or her own way. Cooks are artists and are creative but their creations get eaten while your book, though it might not last for ever does remain and will do so after you have gone. (less)
