Dissecting 'Journalism in Tennessee' by Mark Twain 'I began to feel in the way'

I go into far too much detail about Mark Twain's god-level gifts for making me belly laugh.

I don't recommend trying to get this right when drafting.

But when you're revising, try highlighting all the "plot stuff" in one color and all the interiority in another color. It's a strong visual cue so you can see that balance and adjust accordingly.

How old were you when you wrote your first story/book?

I love stories about lil bb writers.
