“We must cultivate our garden,” says Pangloss at the end of Voltaire’s Candide.

But the process of growing our garden requires the right tools. Reading this blog and learning how to revise your own stories could help you cultivate your garden, obtain peace of mind, and establish your writing legacy. Happy reading and writing!
