If you’ve revised the same paragraph twenty times, you’re not a bad writer. You’re writing.
García Márquez was known for revising heavily. He often doubted his work, rewrote a lot, and kept polishing until the prose felt right.
In The Paris Review, he said that after the success of One Hundred Years of Solitude, he became much more conscious of every word he wrote. On a good day, he said, he might produce only a very short paragraph, and he would often tear it up the next day.
So… He fought for the page. Great writers often do.
