An unedited manuscript is a first draft of story; but is not a finished product. Too many writers study the craft of writing but do not acquire the skills of an editor.

The Ring Nebula – M57
The Ring Nebula is an entire light year across and was born from an exploding Red Giant Star. Evidence of the death of this star can be seen around of the nebula in the top image. The dark-red wave-like filaments propagating from the nebula are the outer layers of a Red Giant Star. The outer waves formed when the star ejected fast moving material and it collided with slower moving material. The Ring nebula will expand for the next 10,000 years as it grows dimmer and larger.

Sharpless 308: Star Bubble : Blown by fast winds from a hot, massive star, this cosmic bubble is huge. Cataloged as Sharpless 2-308 it lies some 5,200 light-years away toward the constellation of the Big Dog and covers slightly more of the sky than a Full Moon. That corresponds to a diameter of 60 light-years at its estimated distance. The massive star that created the bubble, a Wolf-Rayet star, is the bright one near the center of the nebula. Wolf-Rayet stars have over 20 times the mass of the Sun and are thought to be in a brief, pre-supernova phase of massive star evolution. Fast winds from this Wolf-Rayet star create the bubble-shaped nebula as they sweep up slower moving material from an earlier phase of evolution. The windblown nebula has an age of about 70,000 years. Relatively faint emission captured in the expansive image is dominated by the glow of ionized oxygen atoms mapped to a blue hue. via NASA

Fantastic conversation with Cheryl Strayed about storytelling, the challenges of writing about oneself, and the three ancient motifs that all great stories have in common.
So painfully true.
