In this episode of the Revision Wizards podcast, co-hosts Miss Catherine M.H. and VE Griffith discuss the journey of writing and the significant improvements that come with editing and practice. Catherine shares an excerpt from her first attempt at a novel in her youth, highlighting its flaws and contrasting it with a more recent first draft to illustrate her progress. They both reflect on their early writing experiences, including initial feedback, the impact of learning about self-editing, and the value of continued effort. The hosts emphasize that writing is a skill that develops over time, akin to learning a musical instrument or a sport, and encourage listeners to persevere through the challenges of drafting and revising. They also touch upon the importance of learning from feedback and the ongoing process of refining one's authorial voice.

The conversation covers features, pricing models (including free and paid versions), and integration capabilities with other writing software like Scrivener.
