Just the thing for people obsessed with the #writingprocess (like me). Loved the sneak peek!
Curious about what makes FAIR COPY unique? For each piece we publish, we include the fair copy, but we ALSO publish a draft from the writing process AND a mini craft essay from the author. Head over to our website to see what we’re showcasing, because your process is our passion!

If the #writingprocess can be divided into three parts, the second part is called Revision (the third Editing), and for me, this is often when the true conception of a piece takes place. This is when I start understanding what it is I’m writing about...

A poem’s initial draft is a spark, and it’s your job to ensure it catches fire. For “Life Time of Life” the concept of superimposition flamed the spark.

A #bookquote from Fascism. I've often wondered how many people understand that equality means the privileged need to give up things. Then I see the fear and anger, and wonder are we, the privileged, able to give up (at least some of) our privileges?
