For me, that process of taking a first draft and working with it over a period of months is EVERYTHING. That’s where a person finds out what he really means and (you could argue) who he really IS. So I suppose one danger is that we might get the idea that, you know, “to blurt, is to be.” The idea that whatever comes out is good and is us. Whereas someone who has really worked with text realizes – well, that neither one is “really” you, but that the considered version might represent a “higher” you – brighter, less willing to coast or condescend, funnier, and (mysteriously) also, I think, kinder.

George Saunders talks to the Paris Review, reflecting on his Tenth of December and contributing to our ongoing archive of sage advice on writing.

What Saunders is speaking to is the power of process and the same rigorous commitment to discipline and work ethic that propels so many famous writers’ creative routines.
