Here's a page from Chapter Five, and a sneak peek inside one author's creative process. Not so pretty! Tom's approach is old-school, using a pen instead of a keyboard for original composition. From there, he types in the story and takes a pen to the printout (below), typing it in again and repeating the cycle until he gets it right. This page is from the second draft of Vesuvius. Good luck reading it!
