A review by wanderaven
The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires
4.0
I was surprised to come to goodreads to review this book and not find other reviewers writing what seems to me to be the obvious point: the value of revision. Writing = revising, revising, revising.
Okay, I suppose it can also apply to other things such as science projects and sketches and product development, but as a writer all I saw was how easy it is to be inspired to write something, maybe even meticulously plan it out, and then be incredibly disappointed by the final first draft.
A girl and her dog work together to create something that will benefit them both (I didn't really realize what that thing was until the final project but maybe I'm a bit dense ) and when it doesn't turn out to the be Most Magnificent Thing, despite multiple revisions, she's really pissed off.
Clearly, this is all about writing.
