So,
people say that writing takes a persistent, mostly gentle touch most of
the time. Don't force. Let the story tell itself. Be sure your
characters lead the story. But there are times, like in the revision
process of this middle grade story for example, when I've had to call in
the battering ram. It's the beginning that I'm confused about (nice
way to say "tantrum-ing about") The second half of the story is where
all the action begins, and that's actually working. I have
revised/scrapped, revised/scrapped for a while now. Enough. Battering
ram, set to work. Time to write a new beginning. Let's crack this
story open.
