"Prompt: Too much of a good thing. Write whatever tiy want about this subject."

Too much of a good thing for me usually involves over-indulging in something high in sugar. For some reason when my sugar goes higher than 120 I become very sleepy. I ate an ice cream cone today even though I knew better and sure enough my sugar shot up. In awhile I was extremely sleepy and my sugar was up. Maybe that's where diabetic coma comes from?

My mom use to tell me that too much of Jesus was a bad thing. In that respect I didn't believe her because it made no sense to me. I loved reading and studying God's word and now I am glad I ignored her warnings. I have a very good knowledge of God's word and may soon put it to work toward a doctorate degree. I would also like to become either a Christian counselor, missionary, or journalist. I haven't decided which I wish as a second career yet.


"Prompt: What do you make of the advice for fiction that says, “Revise, revise, revise”? Could too much revision kill the original spark, and what is your advice concerning revision?"

I believe it is is a good policy to revise, revise,and revise. Sure the original may get lost in the revision but the end result is going to be a piece that is so edited that it shines like the Chrysler Building. I once edited a magazine. I had many contributors to the magazine and I tried not to edit the pieces sent in. I wish I had done so. One lady wrote about an idea that had popped into her her. However she wrote that it pooped into her head. I did not revise her work and it was printed that way. She quit writing for me and I lost a good author.
