A writer's notes

The first draft of Kate Forsyth's latest novel Beauty in Thorns took two years to write; here Kate condenses the process into four minutes.

The video shows something of the amount of work which goes into a book - from idea to research, from sketchy notes to detailed ones, writing, rewriting, re-ordering material, adjusting balance and weighting, and so on and on through the hundreds of pages required to construct and tell a story. Good to know that after all that, Kate's editor is happy!

Just like writing a PhD thesis! Fortunately my examiners were happy too.
