Dark & Twisty

I am not a huge fan of James Patterson.  My mother loves him and I tried to read him a while ago.  I didn't care for him. 

I did, however, hear an interview with him on NPR recently.  He discussed his proflic ability to write up to 9 novels a year.  Of course he works with others, and that's not the lesson I learned.  I should've already known what I learn but I didn't.  He said that when he edited a book or drafted it after the first draft, he lef the spacing between lines at about 3 or 4 spaces.  He stated that he wrote in those spaces.  I think that this is wonderul idea and i plan to use this the next time I start drafting.
