Good advice for any writer or those aspiring to write.
How do you start a second draft? I just finished my first one and I'm having a hard time getting in there to start changing things because it just seems like a lot to sift through
Print out your book on paper.
Then find time when you won’t be disturbed, and read it. With a pen, or a pencil. And anything you don’t like as a reader, make a note in the margin, or change it on the page.
Look particularly for things that you were hoping would be better. Mark them in the margin too.
And then work out what you need to do on the second draft. Basically, anything you didn’t like as a reader you get to fix as a writer.
I would really like to own all of these as well.

Yinka Shonibare’s art installation, The American Library, in the downtown branch of the Cleveland Public Library.
It’s designed as two back-to-back rows of book stacks, with 6,000 books bound colorful fabrics. On each book’s spine is the name of a 1st or 2nd generation US immigrant who has influenced their adopted country’s culture.
Wow, this artist's work is studio ghibli level amazing. The use of simplistic forms to portray a highly detailed narrative; it really does "paint a picture" (story) in my mind. What a world they have created.

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees
Good information to know for story tellers.
the land of fairy, where nobody gets old and godly and grave, where nobody gets old and crafty and wise, where nobody gets old and bitter of tongue.
True.. true..
