DRAFT: Sapling stories are drafts which are ready to deepen, complexify, tighten up the reader experience, and go through a first revision. Now you know where the story goes and your writing has changed since you wrote the first line! First, raise the Emotional Stakes to provide your characters with more dimensions; then you'll be Making the Scene as you focus each piece on its purpose and place in the complete work; finally Discover Novel Revision with such tools as developmental editing, copy editing, ... and a strong sense of humor. All your work will happen within the context of our supportive community, where everyone approaches your writing with curiosity and respect for what you're trying to do.
